Mr Ong said that the new PSLE scoring system would not affect students’ chances of getting into their preferred stream, but will allow students to focus on themselves.
He said based on the education ministry's estimates, the percentage of students going to the Express stream, which is currently about two-thirds of the cohort, will not change very much. “The only thing that changes is the scoring system. So the technical educators in MOE are able to map from one scoring system to another scoring system.”
“I'm quite confident that by 2021, there won’t be confusion. People will understand how this new scoring system will add up and how this aggregate is calculated.”
