GEP 2011 - Screening & Selection

[phtthp]

does this GEP accelerated fast pace programme cramp only Sec 1 or also up to Sec 2 curriculum, try to scale down & fit to suit children at (P4, P5, P6) level ?

Picolo:

I know of a few students who were doing pretty well (in first class of cohort) from P1 - P3, and they are those who will con't to do well in mainstream, but alas, when they 'luckily' got into GEP, they suffer low self-esteem as they become the most struggling in their GEP cohort. Definitely not something that the parents and kid had imagined. Whether they would be DSAed into their dreamschool later on, I believe, for a better childhood, they should be better off in mainstream.


Be careful what you wish for.

It really depends on how one approaches the GEP. If you recognise the fact that this is a collection of 'gifted' students and accept that there will be a 'higher mountain' out there, u will be able to maintain your self esteem. So if u take it as an alternative journey (more like an exploration) and eventually u still take the psle like the rest, it will be less stressful.

That being said, it's not just your ability to learn in GEP. There are also alot of work which require certain level of maturity in thinking. This can be a challenge especially for many P4, and also alot of boys who r typcially 'slower' .

Personally, I don't feel that GEP is really an accelerated prog although they touch on some sec school stuff. more like a field trip...they bring u there and it's up to you to discover...

So anyone know of any result out so far for the 2nd selection ? Looks like the earlier news on ACS is only a rumour after all ?

It's more like expose the children earlier to the materials ahead of their actual time/level. In this case expose them to P5, P6 or even Sec 1 or Sec 2 in certain subjects. The important thing is the children have to be open minded and not deceiving themselves by saying 'I'm only P4' which happened to my DS when he started in P4 GEP journey...
