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.

Do…

monitor your child’s daily

work

give encouragement and

support in areas for improvement

praise your child for any

33

How can I help my child?

Don’t …

put too much emphasis on

marks and grades

compare your child’s

performance with that of

• thers

give more homework than

necessary, or as punishment

As parents, you can:

 Encourage Joy of Learning by not

• ver-emphasising academic

performance.

 Focus on your child’s learning

journey, rather than compare them to

• thers.

 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.
