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

Observing students’ demonstration of positive learning dispositions “ 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. ” -Minister Ong Ye Kung, WPS 2018

How can I help my child? Do … Don’t … monitor your child ’ s daily put too much emphasis on work marks and grades give encouragement and compare your child’s support in areas for performance with that of improvement others praise your child for any give more homework than progress made necessary, or as punishment 33
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.
