            Sharing this YouTube video on CNA’s interview with our Edu minister on the recent GEP revamp. Other area talk about are examples on what it mean to decide what is best for our children.

            I couldn’t post the link here because of some “reputation” point needed. If you are keen, go to YouTube, search with “ gep changes cna”. It’s on a CNA’s podcast

              To add: I personally like the case discussion in the interview, on what is meant to seek what is best for the child.

              Minister raise the scenario: if your child has been averaging around 12 AL point in P5/6. And unexpectedly obtain a AL4 for PSLE. What COP school would you choose for your child?

              Host 1 said she would choose RI. Host 2 said he would choose a COP 10 school (not to over stretch the child at the same time hope for the best)

              Minister suggested, it depend on the character of the child and parents would need to know the child better. If the child is the type resilient enough to keep trying his/her best , even if last in class, then maybe suited to be stretched in RI. If the child learn best in a right pace environment, then a COP 12 school would be better choice. If the child is layback, prefer to also explore other interest outside regular academic subjects, an AL 14 school will be a happier place for the child

                  @hdbmummy Not sure if the (paywall) article provides more context. This year batch is the Dragon baby boom cohort. Total number was expected to exceed 2023 batch. Did reporter compare the percentage of total cohort size, year on year?

                    @zac-s-mum I don’t remember the article stating the year on year comparison but it did state the cohort taking psle this year was ~41,000 so the percentage of DSA applicants vs P6 cohort should be ~40%

                        this is what I gathered from the article:

                        2024 16000/41000=39%
                        2023 14500/38100=38%
