MOE to stop publishing names of top students?
-
So cannot be from GEP too!
-
It would be a lot easier to engineer it such that being a top scorer is a stigma- no school, parent or kid would like to clinch the ‘honour’.

Maybe MOE should arrange it such that the next top PSLE scorer should be a pure bred local kid whose family is so Singaporean they go back all the way to the time when Sang Nila Utama discovered Singapura; and the kid must not have had a single day of tuition because his poor parents live in poverty and are unable to provide him with any form of academic support; and of course he must come from a neighbourhood school.

That was not what I was thinking at all :rotflmao: but very funny.
As I posted, I'm not concern abt the kids. -

Don't want that lah, poor kid, only 12 and kena shun liao. But then there are kids who are shun from birth -

That's why I said must be from neighbourhood school. Then people cannot say he's from branded primary school.jtoh:

Not forgetting he may be a GEP but didn't confirm a place in a top IP school through DSA. If it is really like that it would politically correct and no complaints of unfairness. :salute:
But the reality may be hard for the people to accept. If not why cannot announce the top scorers?

Well it's not funny anymore when locals pay taxes to support the education system and serve NS and what not are disadvantaged when kids cannot get into a desired school because of various factors. I sense a lot of parents are stressed and crying for help. In a society where ability is measured and opportunities are given largely by academic performance, it is difficult not to put a lot of emphasize on kid's education. It is good that MOE is reacting already before the frustration and stress worsens.jtoh:

The fengshui is right for MOE to achieve something significant. I wait with bated breath to find out what it will be. -

You know, as I read this part, a certain word flashed across my eyes in neon colours... MERITOCRACY... MERITOCRACY...

Maybe scrap DSA, IP program, GEP perhaps then everyone can be on level playing field. :skeptical::offtopic: different pple, different sense of humour.
