Was reading this blog by a mother who was forced to take the painful decision to take her boy out from the GE program.

Thanks for sharing the blog, ksalways. It was so sad reading the blog post. I can't believe the injustice the poor boy was subjected to.
On another note, I think the blogger is a contributor on this forum.

Oh dear, poor boy! I have been wondering what happened to the boy since her last post. :sad: Couldn't believe the school's inflexibility in changing class/teachers. At 11 years old go where? On 2nd thought, if leave GEP, can still attend normal class in the same school right? :scratchhead: But poor boy will be so sad...

Congratulations to all those kids who got in. My daughter’s teacher confirmed that my DD did not get in :-).

My son got in to GEP too. Now I am scrambling to find out more information about the program and which school to select. Does anyone know where to search for feedbacks from current GEP student’s mummy?

Congrats fiona77! :rahrah:
As for your situation, you can transfer your P1 boy to the same school too, provided the school has available vacancy.

:congrats: to all parents and dds and ds for getting into GEP!


I believe soon you will be attending a briefing about the GEP. Booths will be set up by all the GEP holding schools then to let you know more about their schools. Note all gep schools teach the same gep syllubus and the kids will be taking the same common tests and exams set by the GE branch. However,maybe you would like to consider a few points coming to the selection of a gep for your kids:
1. Distance
2. School's culture
3. School's range of cca
etc..
If you intend to choose a school which is not too near your house, please check with the school's bus operator first if they serve your area.....
