From 2024, secondary school students will no longer be streamed into Normal and Express classes, said Education Minister Ong Ye Kung on Tuesday .
Subjects such as maths, history and literature will be taught at G1, G2 or G3 levels, with “G” standing for “General”. When these students reach Secondary 4 in 2027, they will take a common examination and graduate with a common secondary school certificate. Ong said the results of the pilot scheme have been “encouraging”, with about half of the Normal students in these schools taking up subjects at the Express level. Some 25 per cent took one Express level subject, while another 11 per cent took two subjects, he added.
Reshaping schools’ ‘social environment’The Full SBB will also enable schools to “reshape the social environment in schools to benefit their students”. “Almost immediately, late-coming and absenteeism rates plunged,” said Ong in describing the school’s “unprecedented” move.Ong also explained that streaming was implemented during the “efficiency-driven” phase of the education system in the 1980s and 1990s, when the government was concerned about the high primary school dropout rate.
