if GEP students who have achieved above 80% in GE exam can skip PSLE, why not get MOE to standardise and issue standard papers for mainstream too? then mainstreamers who have achieved above 80% in MS exam can skip PSLE and go for dsa like their GEP counterparts. then can save their time and energy and can particpate in CIP, leadership camp, character and team building programme, etc etc...

aren't the mainstreamers a viable group to implement skipping psle since bulk of tier 1-3 secondary schools consists mainly of mainstreamers who are consistent performers in pri schools? (ok, this is an assumption i make )

PSLE is suppose to be the common papers for all mainstreamers and giving them more time to prepare mah in Oct.

i am calling for common papers staggering over three years..... :siam: :spank: so schs cannot overset or underset papers too difficult or too easy.[/quote]I get what you mean... so may be the P6 SA1 should a common papers thru out Singapore since it is to be used for DSA for mainstreamers as well. So if they can do very well, why not exempt them. But then the syllabus has got to finished before SA1 lor like they GEP syllabus ... won't it be too rush.

[quote=\"Kiasucy\"] Given the GEP papers are tougher and if the kids want to be exempted from PSLE they have to work hard to achieve above 80% and if they don't then they have to do PSLE lor... nothing comes free for them as usual, why would it breed elitism. From my observation after my ds attended GEP he still friend his mainstream classmates since P1 and still play regularly with his mainstream and GE classmates after school. I must say the ministry is very thougtful and successful in implementing the Tag class where GE and non-GE pupils sttend HCL and non-GE subjects togather.

I think we should stop giving out any more goodie bags to this 1%.

ABSOLUTELY AGREE !! kee ka kee chui ( Dr KSI, pls help me with the animation ) :please:[/quote]Kee ka kee qiu means you want to lie on your back and spin a breakdance? :evil:

Schooling is but one part of societal needs. I guess since we are on KSP, the forum members might be sympathisers to such a position, but I am of the view that we already commit too much resources into education at the cost of other things.

Like what other things? Ministerial pay?

Hahaha, you must have foreseen this ping pong ball flying over from who else but your friendly neighbourhood pirate. :imanangel:

Healthcare, community services for the elderly, science and technology development, to name a few.

If you plot SG on a graph versus other developed countries, you will see we already spend more proportionately on education and less on healthcare.
