Hi,


I have a daughter who is very strong in Humanities (75 for each Literature, Geography and 91 for History). She got 1st in 2013 and 2nd highest in 2014 for History. However, her Maths and Science are 62 each (they meet the school’s criteria of => 60 to go to express).

Unfortunately in the streaming, she did obtain the double Science and double Humanities and was given double Science and Elect Humanities instead. The reason given by school was that she was not the top 80 in terms of level ranking (based on English, Maths and Science or EMS) - she was 93.

We tried appealing for her to go into double Humanities for she is strong in that area, but the school was adamant not to give, claiming that there is no more space. They proposed another combination with Principles of Accounting, Elect Geography (no History!) and Literature, combined Science (without the Additional Maths). Even her Form Teacher tried to help but was turned down.

My wife and I are very amazed that the school would deter our daughte from taking pure History just because EMS. There are other students who may score slightly higher in EMS but are average in Humanities and they got into the double Humanities instead.

Please advise if there are any course of action that we can take to help our daughter?

Thanks!
