To ask the Minister for Education
To ask the Minister for Education whether our students’ overall Chinese Language results in the last PSLE examination are satisfactory.
Response
Our students’ performance in Chinese Language in the last PSLE examination was similar to the performance in previous years. 14 per cent of candidates scored ‘A-star’s, and 68 per cent scored ‘A’s. 11 per cent and 5 per cent scored ‘B’s and ‘C’s respectively. The remaining students obtained ‘D’, ‘E’ or ‘U’ grades. These figures exclude the 5 per cent of students who took Foundation Level Chinese.
