Does anyone knows how the school allocate the next year P5 class other than Meta and GEP? Which is a better class because the class allocation was out yesterday. Thanks.
GEP is the better class. I think Meta is for those miss the GEP class by 1 or 2 point. -

Hi
My girl came back n told me that teacher said brieftly that HA classes are first 4 classes , so I assumed they are ABCD. Anyway, the top 5 in her class are also in ACD. No one was in B. Don’t know why. Her class top boy is in A class. -

There is no pure GEP class in NYPS. META is a programme to intermingle GEP students and students who just missed the mark for GEP.CHC123:

NY takes in about 4 classes worth of GEP students. These students are allocated into 6 classes, each class having a mix of GEP and non-GEP students in the ratio of 17:10 (approx).
When they are having lessons for non-GEP subjects (CL, PE, arts, music, form teacher hour, trips, excursions), the intermingled students will have lessons together.
When it is time for lessons for GEP subjects (Eng, MA, Sc, SS), the 3 classes of non-GEP students will combine into 1 class for the lesson, while the GEP students will combine into 2 classes to have their lesson. -

What is S formulation? The principal said the school is using this formulation (To allocate their classes)Hi

When was it implemented? My DS finish P5 in NYPS last year. He was in GEP and there were 4 specific classes for GEP students and only intermingle for CL, I think.
DD starting P1 next year, so I need to get reacquainted with the system again

Indeed, this is really strange. All geppers are combined into 2 classes? which means 50 students in one class? Isn't this worse off than mainstream?
No pure GEP class? Meaning nyps is no longer gep centre?
meta students are those that missed GEP by 1 or 2 point? Which source does this come from? Only understanding is that META are for those nyps students who didn't get through round 2. Some are identified (in their letters or maybe to school) as the top 2%-5% in selection test. The nyps school representatives reiterated that the school doesn't accept non-nyps students into the meta programme, even if they are among the top 2-5%.
From a current nyps P6 gepper, only selected few students joined the geppers for cl. Mainstream cl/hcl is different from gep cl/hcl. Unless all meta students are also taking gep cl papers. Does GEP branch allows this? Same practice throughout the 9 schools?
If nyps is making such drastic change (big class sizes, no pure GEP classes etc ), then the nyps principal has the responsibility to inform parents during the GEP briefing. One of the pros about GEP is the small class size.Dnls_mum:
