[Bukit Timah] Primary Schools

Scary:
MOE publishes a list of top PSLE students in Singapore every year. Although they do not state which students are GEP and which are not, it's not difficult to make out whether they're GEP or not.
I wouldn't bother much about GEP cos I know my DS is not top 1%. My concern is PSLE. Pei Hwa is one of the very few top non-GEP schools. If one look at the top schools by academic excellence, most of them are the GEP schools and to me, of course they should be top cos they have the top 1% cohort. Not easy for PH to be one of them. And yes, most of the time, the top PSLE student in Singapore is from the gifted stream. I will be happy if MOE can publish the top non-GEP student.phtthp:
amongst Bukit Timah schools, if compare:-
- Henry Park
- Pei Hwa
- Nanyang
- RGPS
- MGS
- BTPS
at end of P3 going to P4, which are the school(s) that produce the greatest number of their own in-house GEP students from P1-P3, without having to import outsiders from external outside schools ?
do we have such data ? -
last yr top PSLE student was that Alex boy from Rosyth. He was from GEP.
another year was that Qifa China girl who was 1 yr older than her peers.
which year was that - whereby non-GEP student top PSLE ? -
phtthp:
Qiu Biqing from Qifa is non-GEP.last yr top PSLE student was that Alex boy from Rosyth. He was from GEP.
another year was that Qifa China girl who was 1 yr older than her peers.
which year was that - whereby non-GEP student top PSLE ? -
Rebecca from RGPS was top PSLE scorer in 2006. She was a non-GEPper.

GEP programme started when - which year ? before 2000 ?

phtthp:
if focus only on Top 2 classes, then remaining classes neglected, so standard drop over the years ....
Yes so from 3rd class onwards u hardly get good teacher. Then KSP have to send for extra tuition course . If cannot afford, problem is yours..... -
If my boy is the top achiever in PSLE, I will proudly say that it’s the $$$$ I have spent not the Sch effort!!

started in 1984 -
back then in 1984, MOE only started with 2 schools.
in 1984 - RGPS and Rosyth were the 2 guinea pigs to start trial run for GEP programme. That time, not sure if going to turn out well or not.
however after sometime proven very successful and receive so much nods of approval from both parents and MOE, then the rest follow suit one by one slowly … Nanyang, Nan Hua, Catholic High, Tao Nan, Henry Park, ACS, St Hilda. -
