P2 HOLISTIC ASSESSMENT

• There will be no examinations at

Primary 2.

• There will be holistic assessment to

check student’s understanding and to monitor your child’s learning progress.

• No mid-year examination (SA1) for P3
• Purpose: To re-calibrate the learning load on

students and create more time and space for teachers to bring about the joy of learning and holistic development in students.

P3 HOLISTIC ASSESSMENT

• Teachers will continue to regularly gather

information about students’ understanding and content mastery through check-points, such as reviewing students’ homework, class work and termly weighted assessment.

• This will allow teachers to provide students

with timely and specific feedback and address any learning gaps that they might have.

P3 HOLISTIC ASSESSMENT
