What is the different between a BEP class and a non BEP class?

BEP is for pupils who are strong in both English and Mother Tongue so if you child is selected for BEP, he/she will have to stay back once a week, doing things like translation. It is good for kids who have a love for language. As for DS he said \"lucky not selected then I don't have to stay back in school for one more day\"

So is this BEP also opened for Mainstream? nothing to do with GEP?

for NH , the EL & CL test is selection test for BEP , the GEPPER has to be good in both language


Unlike NY ,which only send the talents for Olympiad competition, HPPS welcome all students to take part in the competition , and external vendor are hired to conduct the training in the school for those that are keen .

Not really. NY also have external vendor coming to sch to conduct training. Such trainings r not compulsory though. I m still thinking of signing Ds up if I can find a way to get him home after class.

Are you referring to those enrichment courses conducted by external vendor thru' the school that you need to pay out of your own pocket?

I can understand why the p4 geppers have to sit for el,cl and math tests as they come from different schools. But p5 geppers still have to sit for el and cl diagnostic tests in the 1st week of school, really :siao: . Unless they expect some of the kids have improved their el and or cl within the 6 weeks of holiday. Perhaps this el or cl tests different things? I wonder whether other gep schools also have such tests.
