PSLE Maths
Ask any singapore parents and kids the four words that dread they most
And answer be P S L E
Akshta appeared for PSLE in 2019. Maths paper caused huge uproar in the social media so much so that after a year CNA made documentary on PSLE maths .
I was aware about singapore education and importance of Akshta to study in Singapore but I had no inkling about the criticality of PSLE that make or disturb child’s future . In a way , I was happy with my ignorance . We let Akshta enjoy her childhood fun of Ice Skating ,Creative Arts , Swimming , Ballet without getting boxed into maths,science and English .
Start of PSLE year was not happy with Akshta dislocating her knee. But we put everything in PSLE year including extra tuitions beginning with Science , later maths and English too. Was it sheer efforts , commitment , hard work , talent , accessibility and affordability of resources or slice of luck . Perhaps combination of all these . Akshta managed to get in the top bracket that would get her into integrated program . IP allows high-performing PSLE students to skip the GCE Ordinary Level (O-level) examination (typically taken by students at the end of their fourth or fifth year in secondary school) and proceed to sit for the GCE Advanced Level (A-level) .
From neighbourhood primary school to elite downtown school . In two years , Akshta has matured by a decade .
