      [quote=\"Herbie\"]For p4 to drop out if ge, the child can still choose to go back to their original pri sch. But for p5, u really hv to think hard cos u will end up in the ge but mainstream dept.


      I think the child will feel demoralise so die die they will chose to stay in ge.

      Only if your original primary school has vacancies available.

      Anyway it is doable. One of the parents has requested the original's principal to double confirm with moe.[/quote]It can be done, but if the original school has given up the vacancy it can turn you away. Some schools are so popular the moment the students leave the school to go for GEP their spaces are given up immediately.

            [quote=\"KSP\"]


            perhaps can start a poll here to find out how many parents and child are both from GEP.....

            Alamak, KSP, u didn't get my msg huh?
            GEP only started in 1984, if both parents n child was/is in GEP,
            then GEP parents will be too shy to identify themselves liao
            u know wat I mean? :evil: šŸ˜‰ šŸ˜‰

            but why?? :? is this a GEP question too? :faint:

            the 1st batch of GEP should be 37 this yr, if their P4 kids are in GEP too then these parents should have their GEP babies at 27...

            normally s'porean guys graduate at 24-25 and gals at 22-23.... šŸ•ŗ[/quote]I know a GEP couple (both parents in GEP previously) who now have a kid in GEP too. šŸ˜„

              I think Way2GO is trying to tell you if the parents are GEPers then they must have married in their early twenties to have kids in GEP now.

              I might be wrong. :evil:

              I see. So first batch of GEPers will be 27 years old this year. And in order to have GEP kids of 10 years old, must be pregnant by 16 years old

              No lah, first batch is 37 years old now. They were 10 years old (P4) in 1984. Your Math fail! So cannot be GEP. :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao: Just kidding hor.

                fortunately whatever school we tried for DSA never asked for past yr results...coz it was either below or just over baseline!!! :oops:

                        Heard Sim Ann is from the first batch of GEP.

                        Oh, but she was born in 1975 leh... so if first implemented in 1984, then she was 9 years old when GEP first implemented?? I also heard when GEP first implemented, it was for P6s going to Sec school - only those who scored 3 A* and above were eligible to sit for the GEP tests...

                        Check this out:
                        http://www.edupoll.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=67

                        Note the original objective of the GEP: \"What was proposed was an enrichment, not an accelerated, programme.\"

                        Sounds like much has changed since then.....!
