[quote=\"8228\"]Heard that NUSH teacher student ratio is only 1:10. Is it similar for other schools?

10 students to a class. Really?

Nope. Its about 25.[/quote]I am talking about teaching staff vs student ratio, not the class size.

Soli soli, only after i posted, I realised you could have meant different.

[jtoh]

Isn’t class size to teacher ratio more relevant than total teaching staff to total student ratio? Just wondering aloud.

[verykiasu2010]

the ratio is misleading, just a kpi to boast about


class size matters.

some subjects will have less than the standard class size and that skews the ratio

Hi, my son is in GEP P5, din do really well in P4 (overall is 79%) and P5 this year CA1 is 80.x%. Does he have chance to at least DSA to RI and DHS? his teacher mentioned DSA look from P4 to P6 and seemingly trying to tell me with my son result is difficult to get a seat through DSA, quite depressing, i din ask him is he referring to RI…anyway RI is not a compulsory for us lah.

the most important is P6 SA1 score, but 79 is close to 80 and RI's minimum to exempt from GAT is 80%, so no worry. RI is the only one asking for P4 score onwards. HCI and DHS ask for P5 onward nia

even if below 80%, no big deal to take the GAT

why you so easily defeated ?

thanks for your prompt reply. The teacher somehow sounds quite negative so end up i find it quite depressing. I hope he can DSA-ed to a good school as i see their time is so sucked up by all the SS projects (and SS potentially pull his overall grade down), IVP etc and also the school will only start in term 3 or so in P6 for practising of exam papers which they will be at a losing end.

fanren,
don't worry too much. SS grade will not be used for computation of the 80%. And also, if I'm not wrong, for DSA to DHS, it's 75%.

take it that the teacher is pushing you along

but you don't need to feel depressed nor discouraged

the teacher is just being responsible to highlight at this stage what is needed for DSA.....wait till P6 to know about DSA requirement will be too late
