HMT should be given creditials for entry to all schools

I thought so too. I think Nan Hua is also not IP. Thanks for your clarification phankao.That's not true.
Then how about CHIJ St Nicholas, Catholic High School, Chung Cheng, Ngee Ann, etc? -

My DD has strong interest in chinese. She takes up HMT on her own accord and has been active as a member in her chinese reading club. She also represented the school on some occasions. We understand that taking HMT as an additional subject is time consuming like an additional cca in school and its PSLE score will only qualifies for entry only to SAP schools. So even though our intention is to eventually go for mainstream schools, my DD sat for HMT. When her PSLE score came out and she misses her dream school by 1 to 3 points, we appealed and of course HMT does not have any weightage for the schools. Whats appears peculiar to me recently is that with our much respected MMLee encouraging chinese, due to the dragon has risen, HMT is actually less or not important compared to dance, sports and everything else for appeals to mainstream schools. Does anyone shares any views on this? :?
That is a valid point. After all, many schools are offering HMT these days, so why the discrepancies huh ? -

Yes. I felt it is more consistent and even more so if the secondary school (mostly, as you have mentioned) offers HMT and not just limit the HMT points for entry to SAP schools only. Thank you!

I share your sentiments. I think there is difference between SAP sch HMT & others sch’s HMT, whether or not same "O" levels. I remember seeing a list of SAP sch & IP sch different "syllabus" or "content" on their Special Chinese Programme. For one, it can be Chinese Culture incl calligraphy, for second, it can be Chinese Literature, for another, it can be Chinese Debate. -

Not all, cause most SAP are IP schools, and they only study for the A levels, not O levels.
Didnt know about that. What about Nan Hua High?
