'How can 97 marks be not good enough?'
Parents of some children in a well-known primary school have complained about the selection process for Higher Chinese.
St Hilda's Primary pupils are routed into Higher Chinese classes in Primary 2 based on continual assessment test results in Primary 1.
What upset the parents was that pupils who scored as high as 97 marks in Chinese last year were told that they had failed to make the cut for Higher Chinese.
A father, whose child was keen on taking up Higher Chinese, was told that even though the boy had scored 97 marks, he did not fall into the top 25 per cent of the cohort for the subject and did not qualify.
The school's Chinese department head said a number of pupils in Primary 1 scored 97 marks.
The parents, who asked not to be named, said that although they were told of the selection process in Primary 1, they did not expect the bar to be set so high.
The mother of another pupil who missed out said she was disappointed that the school would not take into account a pupil's interest.
"My child is interested in Chinese, that's why I was disappointed that despite her doing well, she was not selected to study Higher Chinese," she said. "(The Education Ministry) urging young people to follow their interests and aspirations just sounds hollow."
The father of the first pupil felt such practices run counter to policymakers urging parents to stop chasing the last mark.
"The ministers had been talking about how we need to move away from differentiating students more finely than necessary," he said.
"Changes are being made to the PSLE so that pupils focus on their own learning and not on competing with their peers. Surely, such practices go against this thinking?"
He said streaming pupils in Primary 1 was "way too early" and it would be better for schools to allow all children to take up Higher Chinese from Primary 1, as is the practice in the 15 Special Assistance Plan (SAP) primary schools.
At all SAP primary schools, children take Higher Chinese from Primary 1. At the end of Primary 4, those who do well are encouraged to continue with Higher Chinese.
Another parent with a Primary 1 child in St Hilda's Primary said he was worried for his daughter, who wants to take Higher Chinese.
"How can 97 marks be not good enough?" he said. "These are the kinds of practices that push parents to send their kids for high-end tuition that costs $1,000 a month."
St Hilda's Primary principal Kew Mee Ying told The Straits Times that the school introduced Higher Chinese at Primary 2 in 2014.
She said it continually reviews pupils to ensure they are learning at a suitable pace and added that pupils have opportunities to offer Higher Chinese beyond Primary 2, if they show they have the ability. Pupils who wish to opt out can also do so.
The Ministry of Education (MOE) said most schools offer Higher Chinese from Primary 5. But as some pupils can go beyond the standard Chinese Language curriculum, and since the Higher Chinese curriculum is already available for SAP primary schools, schools could offer it to pupils with stronger ability. A pupil not offered Higher Chinese in lower primary can still take it later.
MOE said it was up to the schools to decide on selection criteria: "There is flexibility...for a child to take up or drop Higher Chinese Language at different levels.
"Such differentiation in curriculum allows schools to more effectively engage students with varying language abilities."
一所知名小学的一些孩子的父母抱怨高中的选择过程。
St Hilda的小学生将根据小学1的连续评估测试结果,升读小学二年级的高中课程。
令父母感到不安的是,去年在中国取得97分以上高分的学生被告知,他们没有为高中生取得成绩。
一个父亲,他的孩子渴望接受高中生,被告知,即使这个男孩得了97分,他没有落入前25%的队列的主题,没有资格。
学校的中国部门负责人说,小学一年级的学生有97分。
父母,谁不要命名,说,虽然他们被告知在小学1的选拔过程,他们没有想到的标准被设置这么高。
错过了另一个学生的母亲说她很失望,学校不会考虑到学生的兴趣。
“我的孩子对中文感兴趣,这就是为什么我很失望,尽管她做得很好,她没有被选中去读高中。” “(教育部)敦促年轻人追随他们的利益和愿望,这听起来很空洞。
第一个学生的父亲认为这种做法违背了政策制定者敦促父母停止追逐最后一个标记。
“部长们一直在谈论我们如何需要远离差异化的学生,比所需要的更精细,”他说。
“正在对PSLE进行改革,以便学生专注于自己的学习,而不是与同伴竞争。当然,这种做法违背了这种想法?
他说小学一年级的小学生“太早了”,学校最好允许所有的小学生从小学一年开始接受高中生,这与15个特别援助计划(SAP)小学的做法一样。
在所有SAP小学,孩子们从小学1升入高级汉语。在小学四年级结束时,鼓励做得好的人继续高中。
另一位在圣希尔达小学中有小学一年级孩子的家长说,他担心自己的女儿想要高中生。
“97怎么可能不够好?他说。 “这些是促使父母送孩子去高端学费,每月花费1000美元的做法。
St Hilda的小学校长Kew Mee Ying告诉“海峡时报”,该校于2014年在小学二年级推出了高中。
她说,他们不断审查学生,以确保他们以适当的速度学习,并补充说,如果他们有能力,学生有机会提供高级中文超越小学二年级。希望选择退出的学生也可以这样做。
教育部表示,大多数学校从小学5提供高中文。但由于一些学生可以超越标准汉语课程,而且高中课程已经可以为SAP小学,学校可以提供给学生具有较强的能力。没有提供低年级学生的高中生还可以迟到。
教育部表示,由学校决定选择标准:“有灵活性...一个孩子在不同层次上升或下降高级汉语。
“课程的这种差异使学校能够更有效地吸引具有不同语言能力的学生。 |

怪怪的家长, 一边辨说不要太在意分数, 一边说自己的孩子考高分应该就能读高级华文; 却没想过最少有25%的孩子拿比他孩子97分还高的成绩。 |
