Hi everyone,

Does anyone know how schools grade their students? How come some schools have got Foundation English or Foundation Chinese and how does one get into the different levels?

Thanks for your help!

Hi Gin,
All pri sch have Foundation classes now but it only starts in P5. In line with MOE's initiative, Subject-based banding have since replaced EM3 stream in 2008. Based on the child's P4 results of each subject, the sch will recommend the level (Standard or Foundation) your child should take for each subject in P5.

Majority of the students will go on to do Standard levels for all subjects. However, students who are weaker in any subjects will be recommended to take their weaker subjects at Foundation levels and for subjects they are stonger in at Standard levels. In other words, the student can have a mix of standard and foundation subjects. To quote an example, if the student is weak in 3 core subjects but is good in MT, the student can take all 3 core subjects at Foundation levels and take MT at the Standard level. That way, students who are weak in any subject can learn at a pace that is more suited to their needs in the Foundation level and at the same time, have the opportunity to stretch his/her potential in the subjects they excel in at the standard level.

Gin:

How are students from different categories 'grouped' when it comes to admission into Secondary Schools?

Students taking subjects at standard levels will progress to \"Express\" or \"Normal (Academic)\" streams in sec sch based on their PSLE scores. Previously, EM3 student tend to move on to Normal (Technical) but with Subject-banding, Foundation level students who are taking some subjects at Standard levels may have a chance to take these subjects at standard levels at sec sch.

Hope my explanation helps. :lol:
