Any particular reasons to tabulate the number of students in each school that have been selected for the gifted program?

Just want to know is it 500 MOE is targeting. :rahrah:

My DS is from Rulang. He told me the weirdest news. A few of his classmates got the notification that they were not selected into GEP, then there are a few others who did not receive anything and his FT said that those who did not receive anything today are on waiting list :?


Anyone here has similar encounter?

Oh, not selected also got \"small envelope\"?

Find out from my DD school
:?: Those selected received a Big envelope.
Not selected received a small envelope.
What about those didn't receive either one?? :?

Would be tough not as all parents from the various schools will participate in this forum and reveal info. But since it will be revealed during the briefing, i believe the mummies/daddies here will share.

Dont worry as long as the school called and tell u he is selected, he is selected then. Probably when they rec the information, school has ended for the day, so that was why they call to info you of the good news- so you can celebrate over the weekend. Your DS will rec the envelope on Monday.

:congrats:

Thanks. Still deciding which school to go. Nanyang or Nan Hua? I prefer Nan Hua as I stay in the west.

Hi all,


For numbers- I am not entirely sure for NYPS- but in my gal’s class alone- 8 kids got invited for GEP- 5 boys and 3 gals. She belongs to the "high achiever" type of class, and there are 4 such classes in NYPS- if each class has 8 kids that qualified, that will be 32 just from the 4 classes, not counting kids who got in from the remaining 7 "regular" classes.

I know NYPS takes in 100 kids for 4 GEP classes annually, but I also heard NYPS students only make up 1 class e.g. 25, so my numbers above do not really tie up.

I also heard the boy:gal ratio is 75%:25%

Anyways, if there are other parents who child is already in GEP- P4 to P6- pls kindly share your view on the following:
- how has your child cope in GEP so far?
- do parents have to do a lot of coaching and support (and tuition?)?
- what are the real benefit of GEP? Is it using GEP DSA to get into sec sch- if yes, what is the average cut-off marks the kids must maintain?

I am really undecided about my gal going for GEP. As it is, NYPS already pushes each child well towards good results, GEP is a huge additional pressure source in my opinion…sigh sigh…(my problem is my hubby thinks differently, he said since she qualified, she should be able to cope- that is so easy to say…)

PLS HELP GIVE INPUTS!! Thank you all.
