MOE to stop publishing names of top students?
-
pirate:
And what could that be? I am very curious now...
Somebody else mentioned that this is but a sacrificial lamb for other things possibly lined up. Sacrificial lambs are the tools of the lily-livered. And the lily-livered do not produce champions. -
Just a thought after seeing the results…
It’s an encouraging sign that some of the neighbourhood schools are doing so well…
Maybe MOE can consider listing the top 10 scores and the corresponding schools with students obtaining such scores.
There should not be a need to reveal the number of students from each school as the aim is to give recognition to the lesser known schools and raise their profiles.
In time to come, maybe the mindset that "all schools are good schools" will become more of a reality… -
285 top score is higher than last year?
Well done.
:salute: -
Whether the score is higher or lower than any year is meaningless comparison as each cohort is different and exams papers are diff. The score is purely for ranking within the cohort ONLY.

Pirated is right.

T-score makes sense only when compared within the cohort. -

No top scorers to compare... So compare cohorts lor...[/quote]Got what. Top scorer(s) is said to be 285. Must have name in order to compare meh? Can refer in future to top scorers as \"(S)he Who Cannot be Named\".http://www.edvantage.com.sg/edvantage/news/schoolnews/1440942/PSLE_More_making_it_to_secondary_schools_this_year.html

[quote]Primary schools keep mum over precise scores
Twenty minutes before results were released, a 12-year-old boy called \"Azryn\" tweeted that his tutor had revealed that this year's highest PSLE score was 285.
A few hours later, online forum KiasuParents.com stated the same score. A thread had been set up for parents to share information on the top score in their child's school. The thirst for information caused the site to crash several times throughout the day.
But no-one was any the wiser. As one Nanyang pupil said, when asked if he knew who came up tops: \"Minister says cannot say.\"[/quote]Site crash also report in news...
'Minister says cannot say'
