MOE does not rank the primary schools

Actually I heard that MOE does rank pri sch still, just that they don't publish it. Am I right?

The rank of the Pri Sch does not equate to the abilities of the Students right?
Can be Higher... or Lower...

if they rank it internally for whatever purpose, and not publicised, then it is as good as no ranking

I am doubtful they (MOE) will ever do it. If they do it, it will be seen as praising some and condemning some .....all schools are the same is the mantra

It would not be fair to rank schools…top PSLE scholars have been appearing from neighbourhood schools. A school supposedly rank ‘high’ may not necessarily produce the top student.

not fair, not practical ..... what is the yardstick ? what is the criteria ?

for reasons of fairness, I guess MOE will not rank. But MM has already made some comparisons when he visited RPGS and Punggol Primary recently.

Hi,


would like to check about PV selection.


I am currently staying within 2km but not within 1km. So I am thinking of moving to a small HDB flat that is within 1km. My wife is against it as she heard from her friend that for PV selection, the school will take into account whether the parent stayed within 1km and also the type of house the parent stayed in? Wonder if it is true?
