Ms Liew, who took on the director-general of education role in April, said the PSLE is designed to cater to pupils of different abilities.
Under this new system, which took effect last year, pupils attain ALs of 1 to 8 for each of four subjects, with their final PSLE score being the sum of the ALs. "They help us guide our children to make appropriate secondary school and subject-level choices," she added. "I myself have two children, and despite being an educator who is familiar with the design of examinations and the support schools and teachers provide to our students, I am still not immune. Frankly, that is why I exited the parent WhatsApp group chats for both my children.""Oddly enough, the GCE N-, O- and A-level examinations are more difficult, whether we judge by examination demand, percentage of higher-order questions or grades," she said.
