:evil: I have my conspiracy theory abt DSA for GEP :evil:


Since GEP kiddos are groomed to be the next generation of leaders, stated in MOE's website, but I not using word for word lah, it makes sense to keep this group as much together as possible. Since they usially DSA for a handful of schools, it's possible to keep them more or less together to enable the nation to do their grooming thing :evil:

I have been a passive reader of this forum most of the time but I feel I need say something here. GEP has been around for many years. Up till about 10 years ago before the top schools went IP route, all GEP students were automatically promoted to the GEP secondary schools like RI RGS and ACS. So when you look at the system now, it has actually evolved and instead of almost 100% GEP in top schools like RI and RGS, now perhaps on 50% are successful in their DSA to these two schools. And there are easily 10 % of GEP who are not successful in their DSA application, and end up in schools with o levels subsequently. Sometimes I do not know why there is an obsession among parents to get their kids into top schools. I always felt that a kid should go to a school suited to his ability.

If we can agree on what \"success\" means in SG context, then we won't need to debate on PSLE Liao...


264 musician
216 CEO
180 entrepreneur
212 social worker
274 director

The list goes on...

I read that they are not going to announce A level results also. Maybe…how about stop publishing President and PSC scholars list…


I think civil service jobs should make the bonus even for all civil servants too…no point ranking them because it causes unhealthy competition.

Why only make bonus even, equal pay for all will be even better? No more competition!

many also said that GEPers have privileges in DSA etc but there are also cases of GEPers who dont do well in PSLE and not offered DSA and they join o level sec schools (I dont see anything wrong with that tho)....My point is at the end of the day...hard work at any level or any school is essential for good results....

I totally agree. 一分耕耘，一分收获。

Life can never be fair. It's what we make out of it that counts.

Good point.
Without LKY, probably we won't even have this GEP/DSA/IP issues to consider. Most of us will probably not be as educated as we are now. Can even look over our shoulders & rejoice over our less stressful, less competitive life.

There are some other sensitive socio-economic issues which I shan't elaborate but put yourself in the majority people's shoes please.

Hahaha, I AM in the majority! :evil:

I do understand why parents want their kids into top school, starting from primary school.

Whether their decision is right or not we do not need to judge.
