Is it true MOE take more % for boys than girls each year ? think 3/5 to 2/5 ???

according to my friend, yes, GEP has higher % of boys than girls.

But i don't know it is because the boys score higher or because the selection % is higher.

Oh my friend told me they fix certain % for boys & girls. So even a girl score higher than a boy , she may not selected but the boy yes.

Yes, during my elder girl's time, it was 150 girls and 400 boys. Heard it was deliberately so. For what reasons, I don't know. Anyone? However, in recent years, MOE is slowly closing the gap. Anyone can tell us what was the ratio for last year's intake?

Over the years, it's usually the ratio of 2 B : 1 G but not because of selection % is higher for boys. They will tell you during the GEP briefing when your DC is qualified for GEP. By the way, the GEP briefing for selected pupils into GEP will be held in NUS High School on 10 Nov.

Hi, my gal got thru the GEP round 1! Is there anything I should do now to help her prepare for Round 2? Feeling guilty as I don’t spend much time teaching her (have been focusing on my elder daug who is in P5) & she only has Chinese tuition.


Anyone, any advice? Btw this is the 1st time I posted in this forum… din know it’s so easy.

There's really nothing to prepare for at all.
If your child gets in, it means he/she is up to par for the programme (by his/her own merit).
If not, it does not matter - life goes on in mainstream where the majority of the cohort is.

They didn't really mentioned that but they said it came naturally more boys than girls.
