Adding that while the Ministry strives to maintain the same number of DSA placements as last year, traditional selection methods such as trials and auditions would have to change because of safe distancing measures, said Mr Ong.Schools will instead conduct interviews through video-conferencing tools, he said.To “ensure an even playing field with a common setting and equipment” for the e-interviews, students will go to their own primary schools for the e-interviews.
“Schools may also conduct simple e-auditions in a similar way, for arts categories such as singing, dancing or drama.” “This is not entirely new, but if the circumstances this year force schools to re-evaluate their definition of a good sportsperson, I think it’s not a bad outcome at all. Each school will have to decide how it wants to evaluate a student and apply it consistently and fairly.”
“COVID-19 has taken away regular classes, and also our tried and tested methods of grading and DSA selection. But instead of stalling our education reforms, it has underscored their importance and provided impetus to press on,” he said.
