All About GEP

[TREX8]

Thanks for the information. So looks like we won't be getting any letter from MOE in our letter box this year. Anyway, it would be tough to qualify given the small cohort of GEP students in DD's school.

ApronMama:

For GEP, it is that difficult due to the small cohort for each level within a school. But if your GEP kids has achieve level top 5 in the year, he or she will be expecting to receive the yearend hangbao notification by post, provided the school did not forget to submit his/hers name.
For mainstream, if you are in a school with bigger population, and a less competitive neighbourhood school, it will be easier to get. They do not pick the top 10% S Citizen. They pick the top 10% and leave out non-citizen, so depend on where the non-citizen crowd, usually the west.

I think you are referring to http://www.moe.gov.sg/initiatives/edusave/funds-grants-awards/

Same criteria apply to GEP...you need to be top 10% in the level of the GEP cohort of your school to qualify. For example, if there are 50 P5 GEP students, you need to be among the top 5 to qualify for this award.

so normally when will the qualified students receive this award?

Sorry, I can't quite recall...only remembered my son got a letter and we had to go to some Community Club for a prize-giving ceremony. If my memory serves me correctly, the wording in the letter said something to the effect that you must attend the ceremony in order to collect the cheque (implying absence will result in the money being forfeited?).[/quote]oops..we will be away in later half of december ..hope it will not be forfeited if my ds qualify for it.. :roll:

No worry, the award ceremony only held in mid-January. Go enjoy your holiday and come back to find the hongbao notification in your letter box and :celebrate: first.
