      [quote=\"LeeTaiTai\"]GEP only top 1% ? wow not easy


      It's not about 'easy' or not. Ideally, the GEP programme is for the academically gifted or very high ability kids. Studies have shown that in any population, about 1% or so would be gifted. So the GEP programme should be for these naturally gifted (or in Singapore's case, very high ability students). Unfortunately, many kiasu parents want a share of the pie, believing that their kids can be trained to be gifted. And so the 'training centres' earn lots of money, the kids suffer at the expense of their parents' bragging rights, and the GEP programme suffers the wrath of parents whose kids didn't make it.

      well summarised and well said[/quote]Thanks vk2010 and ririan.

              Zoe Tay fails to enrol son in ‘branded’ school... so much for all the rumours here that she got her son in unfairly. NYPS is fair after all...

                It is also shows that people should not parrot rumours without confirmation, causing so much debate and arguments, some acting like vindictive vigilante in the neighbourhood, giving all sorts of speculative lobang like getting in even earlier than phase 2B, all kinds of insinuation ......
