Recalling the days, he says he and his mother would often move. The constant moves distracted him from his studies, and he started missing classes in Primary 1. That was when he was referred to welfare officers.
Before he could understand what was going on, Shahrin was saying goodbye to his mother, the one constant presence in his life. As they parted at the gates of the home, Shahrin said to his mother: "It is okay, as long as you do not have to suffer any more and it makes you happy, you can leave me here. At one point, the boy became so withdrawn he stopped speaking.
When he did speak, it would only be to talk about his mother. But under the guidance of his mentors at Pertapis, Shahrin started playing soccer and putting effort into his schoolwork. Eventually, he would also actively volunteer in programmes at the home, leading the nightly prayer sessions and mentoring younger residents. You are commenting using your Google account.

Skip to content The PSLE Primary School Leaving Examination is a momentous event in the Singapore education system, where all Primary 6 12 year old students sit for the national exam that will determine their future secondary school or even beyond, in the case of Integrated Programme. An administrative fee may be charged for the replacement certificate. Late requests submitted after 31 December of the examination year may not be acceded to.
I have submitted a request to amend the particulars on my PSLE certificate. How long will it take for me to receive my amended certificate? The amendment process will be carried out and completed within two weeks after the receipt of the amendment request and payment if required by SEAB. The amended certificate will be dispatched to your school via registered post, and the school will contact you to collect the certificate.
If I have failed a subject, will this be shown on my certificate? Subjects that are ungraded are not recorded in the certificate.
If I was marked as absent for a subject, will this be shown on my certificate? If you have missed a PSLE paper of a particular subject, you will not receive any marks for that paper. If you have missed one or more papers for the particular subject but have sat for the rest of the papers of the subject, you will still receive an Achievement Level AL for this subject, to reflect your performance in the other papers of this subject. Can I request to view my answer scripts?
We are unable to release the marked examination scripts for viewing as grading is confidential. In addition, the marked examination scripts can only be meaningfully interpreted by experienced markers who have undergone the required training to ensure that they have understood the mark scheme and are able to apply it accurately and fairly.
Can I request for the marks that I received for each subject? Therefore, AL 5 is used as the qualifying grade to assess if students from other courses are ready to take the subject at the Express level. The same principle applies to the AL 6 eligibility criterion for a student placed in the Normal Technical course to take subjects at the Normal Academic level.
The first point they may be eligible is at the start of Sec 1 based on their individual subject scores at the PSLE. Subsequently, they have opportunities to be identified for SBB Sec subjects in the middle of Sec 1, start of Sec 2, and so on, based on their performance in school.
Schools employ a variety of approaches to help students taking subjects at a more demanding level under Subject-Based Banding Secondary [SBB Sec ] adjust both academically and emotionally. Support measures may include:. Eligible students will be offered to take subjects at a more demanding level at four different junctures:.
Similar to current practice, upon meeting the eligibility criteria, schools will issue a letter of offer for the respective subjects to parents of eligible students. Parents can then decide whether to accept the offer for the child to take up subjects at a more demanding level. Myth 6: Because of the scoring bands under the new PSLE scoring system, more students will have to undergo balloting. Order of tie-breakers: Citizenship Choice order Computerised balloting Students will only be balloted when those vying for the last place s in the same school have the same PSLE Score, citizenship and choice order of schools.
Primary school is a time when students develop foundation skills in literacy and numeracy, and acquire habits and skills that will help them learn in the future. This in turn guides the child to a suitable academic programme in secondary school - one that best suits their learning needs. In this way, students can learn and progress at a comfortable pace. The PSLE result also serves as a fair and transparent mechanism to determine secondary school posting.
We acknowledge that the PSLE is unable to assess many other attributes that are also important for work and life. This is why the new scoring system aims to reduce excessive focus on academic results. Scoring Changes Why are there 8 Achievement Levels to grade each subject? Examinations such as the PSLE are used to assess the levels of understanding of students across a wide spectrum.
While we do not want to differentiate too finely between students examination results, we do want to get an idea of their progress after 6 years of primary school, so that they can be matched to suitable academic programmes in secondary school.
