How are Posting Groups different from the Normal (Technical) [N(T)], Normal (Academic) [(N(A)] and Express?
Starting from the 2023 Primary 6 cohort, students will be posted to secondary school through three Posting Groups: Posting Groups 1, 2, and 3. The PSLE score ranges will be mapped from the existing N(T), N(A) and Express courses respectively. Posting Groups will only be used for the purpose of posting students into secondary schools and to guide the initial subject levels that they can offer at the start of Secondary 1.
Throughout their secondary school education, students can take subjects at 3 subject levels, known as G1, G2, G3 (G stands for General), mapped from today's N(T), N(A) and Express standards respectively. Students will have the flexibility to adjust their subject levels at appropriate junctures, based on their strengths, interests and learning needs.
Students will subsequently access programmes and post-secondary pathways based on their various subjects and subject level combinations.
