Release of the 2010 Primary School Leaving Examination Results

Pupils collected their Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE) results from their respective primary schools today.

Performance of 2010 Primary 6 Cohort1 2

A total of 45,049 Primary 6 pupils sat for the PSLE this year. Among these pupils, 43,826 pupils (or 97.3%) are assessed as suitable to proceed to secondary school. In terms of course eligibility, 63.5% are eligible for the Express course, 22.1% for the Normal (Academic) and 11.7% for the Normal (Technical) course.

There are 1,223 pupils (or 2.7%) who are assessed to be not yet ready for secondary school or more suited for vocational training. Of these, pupils who have attempted PSLE once and are not overaged can choose to apply to Assumption Pathway School (APS) or NorthLight School (NLS) based on recommendations of their primary school principals, or spend another year in Primary 6 to consolidate their learning. The remaining pupils are those who have been unsuccessful after repeated attempts at the PSLE or are overaged. These pupils will be offered a place in APS or NLS.

Pupils who are eligible to progress to secondary school based on their PSLE results also received their sealed option forms to select secondary schools from their respective primary schools today. Pupils are required to hand the option forms to their parents. Parents can submit their choices of secondary schools for their child online via the Secondary One Internet System (S1-IS) that is accessible 24 hours a day from 12.00 noon today to 3.00 pm on 1 December 2010.
