Alexandra Primary School - SG

Streaming as most Singaporeans know it will soon be abolished but from 2024, students will still be posted to secondary schools based on their Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE) score across three bands.

Pupils will be graded on each of their four subjects using wider scoring bands, known as Achievement Level (AL), from AL1 to AL8, with AL1 being the best grade and AL8 the lowest.

The sum of a pupil's four subject scores will make up his or her final score, which will be known as the PSLE Score, with 4 being the best score.

With these changes, the MOE explained that students with a PSLE score of 4 to 20 will be offered all G3 subjects, while those with a PSLE score of 26 to 30 will be given G1 subjects.

The G3 level corresponds to today's Express stream, G2 to the Normal (Academic) stream and G1 to the Normal (Technical) stream.

Those whose scores fall in between will be eligible for a mix of G1 to G3 subjects.

Students who do well in certain PSLE subjects can take them at a higher level from the start of Secondary 1, this is no different from what is already being done as part of subject-based banding.

For example, a pupil with a PSLE score of AL23 who did very well for English would take mostly G2 subjects and be offered English at G3 level in Secondary 1.

The MOE stressed that how a student fares at the PSLE will not constrain the choice of subjects and their levels of difficulty.

“The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science. He to whom the emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand wrapped in awe, is as good as dead —his eyes are closed. The insight into the mystery of life, coupled though it be with fear, has also given rise to religion. To know what is impenetrable to us really exists, manifesting itself as the highest wisdom and the most radiant beauty, which our dull faculties can comprehend only in their most primitive forms—this knowledge, this feeling is at the center of true religiousness.” ~ Albert Einstein
