MOE to stop publishing names of top students?

I have never trace whether family GP is GEP grade or not. My ds' surgeon I also didn't ask GEP or not. But then again, I think they missed the GEP screening lah since only started 1984?


Is that the qn to ask next time?

Thought first 'gifted' batch was 1983 sec 1 based on PSLE results? :scratchhead:

Sorry, I used the term \"GEP\" wrongly, I was trying to use the term to refer to the top grade surgeons. Apologies for misquoting the term, didn't know it's such a sensitive term.

Guess the top grade of whatever profession is not limited to only those pupils that are from Gifted-Educational-Program
What I gathered so far, they are only about 500 each year, definitely too small a pool to take away all opportunities life has to offer...

I also didn’t ask if they were from RGS, RI, Hwa Chong, RJC.

Their overall numbers might be small in proportion to the whole cohort but i'm curious what is their composition in top schools like Hwa Chong, NYGS, RI, RGS, GEP programs or successful DSAs either by academic or Chinese instruments. If the proportion in top/IP schools are high then are there enough places for locals to join the top JCs like HCI or RI? Judging from the COP of 3 points from 6 subjects I think not easy.

What in your opinion constitutes a high proportion?

30 to 40% maybe?[/quote]30-40% of a cohort in NYGH for instance would be about 120-160 students? I seriously doubt that there are that many foreign (China) students in one cohort.

Sensitive? I more like fed-up.


Singaporeans are the ones not giving ourselves a chance.

For example, a singer need to make it big overseas before we give due notice.

The linkage is there, it’s not off-topic.

Anyway doesn't really concern me, me and my kids did PLSE a while back. Just wondering why our locals kids let them beat us at our own game and why there are so loopholes not plugged. The issues are too sensitive to discuss openly I guess.
