Summary of SBA announcements:

Mr Brown - No More Exams

Princess Elizabeth Primary School

“Parent Samantha Anderson

said that her daughter found

it less stressful when her

school, Ngee Ann Secondary,

removed mid-year exams

last year.

“The teachers would have

much longer to teach the

students more, with more

opportunities to make

learning fun,” Ms Anderson

said. “Let’s give teachers the

much-needed space to

breathe,” she added.

Princess Elizabeth Primary School

“While some parents and

students are cheering the

latest move by the

Education Ministry (MOE) to

cut back on examinations,

other parents are

concerned that the

changes will make it

difficult to track their

child’s progress, and

might even lead

to complacency.”

Princess Elizabeth Primary School

No weighted assessment (e.g. CAs) and mid-year exams

DOES NOT MEAN

No assessment for learning

Princess Elizabeth Primary School

Measures to reduce SBA Load

• Schools will continue to use assessments formatively to move students’ learning forward and develop in students a greater intrinsic motivation to learn

“We will make adjustments to the Holistic Development Profile, or more commonly known as the report book, to

better reflect a student’s progress in learning, and to discourage excessive peer comparison. These adjustments

will also help to reduce test anxiety.”

-Minister Ong Ye Kung, WPS 2018

Measures to reduce SBA Load

Mixed ability classing from P3 onwards

• To bring about social diversity in the classroom, strengthen peer relationships and move away from an over-emphasis on academic performance.

• No top or bottom class for P3s and P5s

• Students will be classed based on non-academic considerations.

CO-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES (CCA)

Over the years, we have been fine-tuning the education system to help our students discover and develop their strengths and interests while moving away from an over-emphasis on academic results. This will better enable them to lead fulfilling lives.

THE PSLE CHANGES AREPART OF A BIGGER STORY

The changes to the PSLE scoring and S1 posting are another step in this direction.

34

CURRENT SYSTEM

THE T-SCORE AGGREGATE DETERMINES S1 POSTING

• It shows how wella student has done compared to his cohort.

• The T-score Aggregate largely determines which secondary school a student is posted to.

• A student with ‘better’ letter grades may have a lower T-score Aggregate than a student with ‘poorer’ letter grades.

WHY CHANGE?

• Reduce fine differentiation of students at a young age based on exam scores.

• Recognise a student’s level of achievement in each subject, regardless of how his peers have done.

WHAT THE NEW PSLESCORING SYSTEM AIMS TO DO

36

NEW SYSTEM

• There will be 8 Achievement Levels (ALs), with AL1 being the best.

• A student’s AL for each subject will reflect his level of achievement, rather than how he has performed relative to his peers.

• Applies to both Standard and Foundation subjects

STUDENTS WITH SIMILAR SCORES IN EACH SUBJECT WILL BE GROUPED INTO THE SAME ACHIEVEMENT LEVEL

37

PER SUBJECT

AL 8 (UNGRADED)

NEW SYSTEM

• The PSLE Score replaces the T-score Aggregate.

• The PSLE Score ranges from 4 to 32, with 4 being the best.

• Compared to the T-score Aggregate, students are less finely differentiated.

4 SUBJECT ALs WILL BE ADDED TO FORM THE PSLE SCORE

HOW S1 POSTING WORKS

NEW SYSTEM

The PSLE Score will be the first criterion for posting.

If 2 students with the same PSLE Score vie for a place in a school, the following tie-breakers will be used.

1. CITIZENSHIP(Singapore Citizens, Permanent Residents,

then International Students)

2. CHOICE ORDER OF SCHOOLS(NEW)

3. COMPUTERISED BALLOTING

HOW POSTING WILL WORK

40

More information will be shared at P5 and P6 levels

USE OF HCL FOR ADMISSION INTO SAP SCHOOLS

NEW SYSTEM

• Students will be ranked taking into account their performance in HCL.

• This posting advantage applies before the tie-breakers for S1 posting.
