Latest MOE Announcements
MOE removed mid-year examinations and year-end examinations in P1 from 2010.
For P2 students, we further removed the mid-year examinations.
As a result, we reduced the stress for lower primary students,
who by and large enjoy school more, and have a positive start
that focuses on curiosity and growth, instead of
examinations and grades. Teachers also appreciate the extra lesson
time to ensure that our young students master the fundamentals…
…reduce school-based assessment load by 25% in each of
the two-year blocks in primary and secondary schools.
Mr Ong Ye Kung,
Minister for Education, at the Schools Work Plan Seminar 2018

“Teachers can observe the demonstration of positive traits in students like diligence, curiosity, collaboration and enthusiasm
through daily lessons and learning activities that demonstrate a student’s learning
orientation. It is not as quantitative and standardised as school-based examinations, but qualitative
judgement is a fact of life, and we can apply that on EMB and GPA
for young students who just entered the school system.”

steady progress

Eventually?
Do…
monitor your child’s daily work
give encouragement and support in areas for improvement
praise your child for any progress made
33
How can I help my child?
Don’t …
put too much emphasis on marks and grades
compare your child’s performance with that of others
give more homework than necessary, or as punishment
As parents, you can:
Encourage Joy of Learning by not
over-emphasising academic
performance.
Focus on your child’s learning
journey, rather than compare them to
others.
With these changes, your child will:
have more time and space to deepen
learning
better enjoy the process of learning
develop dispositions for lifelong
learning
Let our
students know:
Academic grades and scores are
not the only indicators of their
success. Instead, they should
learn to acquire deep knowledge
and skills.
They should use the time freed
up from having to prepare for
tests and examinations to deepen
their learning and develop their
strengths and interests.

“whether it be parents or teachers, to take a step back and let our students learn to deal with challenges and setbacks on their own and not be too quick to intervene, no matter how good our intentions may be,"
