Tuition Survey Talking Point

Why parents do not teach their child themselves?
Many parents teach their children basic skills and values.
Several factors can prevent them from taking on all of their child's education.
Reasons include a lack of time and emotional complexities of a parent-child relationship.

Tuition supplements mainstream schooling by offering personalized attention, reinforcing concepts, and adapting to a student's individual weaknesses and learning pace.

Latest Curriculum Change for Secondary School Subject-Based Banding (SBB)

source MOE dated 1Dec23

Starting from the 2024 Secondary 1 cohort, the Normal (Technical), Normal (Academic) and Express streams will be removed. Under Full Subject-Based Banding (Full SBB), students will be posted through Posting Groups 1, 2 and 3 respectively instead and have greater flexibility to offer subjects at different subject levels as they progress through secondary school.

What is Full SBB?
Removal of Express, Normal (Academic) [N(A)] and Normal (Technical) [N(T)] streams.
MOE will post students to secondary school through three Posting Groups – Posting Groups 1, 2, and 3. The PSLE score ranges for the three Posting Groups will be mapped from the previous N(T), N(A) and Express streams respectively. Posting Groups will only be used for the purposes of admitting students into secondary school and to guide the initial subject levels students can offer at the start of Secondary One.
Throughout their secondary school education, students can take subjects at three subject levels, known as G1, G2, G3 (G stands for General), mapped from the previous N(T), N(A) and Express standards respectively. Students will have the flexibility to adjust their subject levels at appropriate junctures, based on their strengths, interests and learning needs. Students will subsequently access programmes and post-secondary pathways based on their various subjects and subject level combinations.
