Agree with this:
\"MOE can (SHOULD) do our part not to contribute to the need for tuition. Our schools and examinations must not be run on the basis that students will have tuition.\"
Education Minister

Well, in the first place, this should be the reason why our kids attend school...to be taught and tested what they learn IN SCHOOL. Disallow teachers from giving tuition.

If one get the type of teacher that my son has now, it is impossible not to have tuition(s).

Hi Scary,

My son had a great teacher when he was in P1…and we were very impressed. Unfortunately, this wasn’t the case when he went to P2, P3 etc…however, he did get dedicated and caring teachers when he was in P5.

If you read ksp long enough, you'll know it's all got to do with the prioritization and allocation of limited, desired resources. If a thick band of the cohort gets similar scores, then the system would have difficulty deciding who gets into their choice schs, assuming most will apply to IP/popular sec schs.

This difficulty may somewhat be addressed by the degree of success in implementing the ministry's effort to ensure \"every school is a good school\".

If the root of the issue is due to scarcity of good schools, meaning the supply is not able to meet long pent-up demand, this gap needs to be filled over time. If, let's say, there's enough \"good\" schools for deserving students, can we say goodbye to the the bell curve?

Hi, I've got something to ask here. My DS will be in P1 next year. Would anyone be able to share any perspective on putting him at a student care ? what are the student care that are available , and comments about any specific student care ?

There is The Kidz Club (TKC) which is near the sch, some comments from a BTPS parent below.

Inside PH, there is the Care Junction student care managed by volunteers from Glory Pres. Church. But vacancies are limited.

Thanks Brownbelt. Will check that out.
Do you have any experience with either to share ?
What is your perspective comparing putting a P1 in a student care vs at home ?
