If the PSLE exam rolls around tomorrow, how prepared is your child? What if it's held 30 days from now? How about 60 days then? The thing is that without regular assessment and constant feedback, we cannot be fully certain of the answer. 😱

One thing we can be certain of though is that with Covid-19😷 hanging over our heads, we don't really know when students will return to school. It could be end June, July or even August. Much depends on how quickly the curve flattens.🤞😅

Another thing we can be certain of is that while some parents and children are paralysed by fear and uncertainty, others are taking massive action to prepare themselves for the exams this October. These parents and children are acting with a clear purpose, setting clear goals monthly and charging towards their desired outcome.

If you are the latter, I applaud you.👍 If you belong to the former, perhaps it's time to shake off those fear, nudge your child forward and forge ahead with certainty.

And if you need a helping hand, I'm happy to offer exactly that. Every day. For the next 30 days. When you sign up for this challenge, you'll receive daily emails with video links, providing a series of problem sum and step by step explanation that both you and your child can watch, and rewatch again and again at your own time and convenience. The best part? It's absolutely FREE.😀😀😀

30 Day Challenge - Learn Math Online  A video a day, for 30 days. That's the 30 Day Challenge, designed to help your child gain confidence and mastery over Paper 2. Each video presents a problem sum for the day, and a step by step explanation in solving it. 

Some changes ahead for the students taking PSLE. My guess is that both the marking and setting of exam papers won't be as stringent as yesteryear.

The Government has announced tighter measures during the circuit breaker period and extended it by another four weeks, from 4 May 2020 to 1 Jun 2020.

This will have implications on education. Do we extend HBL by another four weeks?

Our teachers, students and parents have been working hard to make HBL work. It hasn’t been easy. The learning curve is steep for everyone. I thank everyone for your hard work, perseverance, patience and positivity.

But it is better not to extend the HBL. HBL is a fall back when schools are suspended; it cannot be a prolonged substitute for school.

It is better to let everyone have a break from this intense period. MOE will therefore bring forward the June holidays to start from 5 May. It will then cover the entire extended circuit breaker until 1 Jun 2020.

By 1 Jun 2020, hopefully the situation will be much better, and we can look forward to a safe and orderly opening of schools.

This would mean that Term 3 will be very long. So we will factor in an additional one week, mid-term break from 20-26 July. Term 3 will comprise 7 weeks, one week break and then 6 weeks. Most teachers will use the break to review or re-plan their lessons.

The additional break of one week will reduce curriculum teaching time. As it is, the pace of HBL tends to be slower than classroom teaching. We will therefore also make certain topics commonly taught by all schools at the end of the academic year be non-examinable. Some of these topics are pie charts and volume for PSLE Maths, Organic Chemistry and vectors for O level Chemistry and Maths respectively.

This will reduce the curriculum load and ease the pressure off teachers and students in catching up with the curriculum. Just to be clear, as far as possible, these topics will still be taught. But they will not appear as questions in the national examinations.

We will do two other things during the brought forward mid-year holidays.

First, our graduating cohorts need support so as to prepare for their national exams. For this coming mid-year holidays, our schools will continue to have them come back to school for face-to-face consultation and coaching when the national situation improves – which we are confident will be the case.

Second, there is also another group that needs support – children of essential workers and vulnerable students. They have been coming back to school during the circuit breaker period. Our schools will remain open for them throughout the mid-year holidays, to support them and their families.

It has been a topsy-turvy few months as the health situation has been very fluid and uncertain. I thank everyone for your hard work and co-operation. We shall overcome the virus.

And to all our students, I am very sorry, but bubble tea shops will be closed...

The arrangements vary - some send out pre-recorded videos, while others arrange for students to sign in to video conferencing platforms like ClassDo or Zoom."
