All About GEP

mathsparks:
Hi Mathsparks , Ya I am refering to IRS P5 where they needto choose a specify project. what I am concerned for ex if my son wants to join NUS maths & science school but he had IRS project / whatever in social studies will it have any impact to his chance in getting in to the school when compared to the other student who have science/maths project.
1. Maths Olympiad, for P5 organise by NUSH, known as NMOS. For P6, organised by RI - RIPMWC, HCI - SMOPS/APMOPS. Some schools open competition to gepers/mainstreamers, some restrict to those in AMEC/Maths clubs. Check with school.cckmom:
Have few questions.
1. For Olympiad - Will all children (GEP) be allowed to sit for the exam or only selected. My Son in P4 GEP.
2. When coming to choosing a project , will it have any impact on the DSA for example children who choose science/ maths have better change than those who choose Social Studies.
:?:
2. I haven't heard of any geper not selected for dsa because of the project they did/didn't do. BTW, I'm not sure what project you're refering to. All projects assigned are compulsory, so you cant choose whether to do maths/science/social studies project..unless you're refering to the P5 IRS/CmPS/IvP
Generally, students decide themselves which project to include in the portfolio, and interview qns asked could be about the project. -

If GEP is really supportive of his son, I don't see why he has to leave Singapore and go to Malaysia instead. It costs a lot of money and effort to move to another country.
Think he demands more than what MOE was prepared to give. Papers reported that his son was being offered a scholarship at the M'sian uni and also given him a job.
It's unfortunate he left on a sour note and played the race card. -

Just wonder why they choose Malaysia and not other country ....tamarind:

Such figures are usually given in the pri school's dsa briefings. But figures for that particular pri school only..not all schools. perhaps you can google, as some schools, will put their slides on the net.
Just to give you an idea, in my son's class, all have dsa offers, except 1..coz he applied to 1 school only. Anyway, he's no longer in SG, so I think he prob didnt apply to others as they've other plans. -

Let me share some personal egs:

1) Boy1 - did IRS, didnt make it thru NUSH DSA Maths/Science selection test, wait list RI. Currently in RI.
2) Boys2,3 - did CmPS, got confirmed offers from both NUSH/RI. Now in RI.
3) Boy4 -did IvP, didn't apply NUSH. Currently in RI.
I really doubt that the project your child chooses will affect his chances of DSA. For NUSH, they've to go thru a Maths/Science test before attending a camp. For RI, I suspect that as long as you're in GEP, your chances of acceptance is very high. -
hi mathsparks,
How many schools did your son and most of his classmates went for dsa?
