of ndr 2013: education

Updates from Today.

From next year, every primary school will set aside at least 40 places for children with no prior connection. We will give every child a chance to enter the primary school of his choice and we will continue to upgrade the quality of schools.

Parents think PSLE determines a student’s future, hence there is tremendous stress as the whole family takes the PSLE. Today, parents ask one another – what is your child’s T-score? I don't think this is healthy at age of 12.

PM Lee on T-Scores: We shouldn't decide on secondary school postings based on such fine distinctions. We will use wider bands for PSLE grades like the O and A levels to give space to educate students more holistically.
