A nail-biting year of home-based learning, Zoom lessons and prepping for the PSLE examinations during Covid-19 is finally over. But with the release of PSLE scores from Nov 25-27, it's time to seriously consider a secondary school that's ideal for your child's needs.
As a start, here's a basic guide to the new scoring system set by the Ministry of Education, and how the new indicative entry points could impact your choice.
Why is MOE releasing indicative AL cut-off point ranges by school types now, and doing so for individual secondary schools only next year?
The first batch of pupils under the new system will soon receive their Primary 5 end-of-year examination results in the AL format.
MOE said that releasing indicative cut-off point ranges by school types would provide pupils some context to where they might stand.
The indicative AL cut-off points for each secondary school will be released in the first half of next year. These will be based on data from this year's PSLE cohort, which would be most recent.
