CHANGING EDUCATION LANDSCAPE

With a volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous world, we

will need to be adaptable and be willing to learn.

“…education is not what we do TO our children. Rather, it is

what we do WITH them, and FOR them, to bring out the best IN

each of them, so that they grow up to embrace the best of the

human spirit – to always be better, to always strive harder and

build deeper wells of character.”

Minister Heng Swee Keat, MOE WPS 2013

Key PSLE matters -

ADJUSTMENTS TO THE EDUCATION SYSTEM

• PSLE and Secondary 1 posting, move away from

T-score, to scoring students in broader bands.

• Secondary school Subject-based Banding.

• Broadening DSA and ensuring a more variegated

school landscape, including distinctive areas

(niches).

PSLE- A PLACEMENT EXAM

● Reflects the relative achievement level of students

within their peers.

● Places students into different streams

(Express/NA/NT) according to their academic

ability.

● Enables posting to secondary schools by merit

and as far as possible into a school of their choice.

PSLE T-SCORE

• It gives the relative position of a student’s

performance as compared to the performance of all

the other students in that subject.

• The raw mark obtained in the exam only shows how

good the student is in that subject, not how good he

is as compared to others.
