Does anyone happen to know if the sec 1 express textbooks (from 2 years ago) can be used for the G3 textbooks next year? Got textbooks from my elder girl and wondering if can still use for my younger girl next year. Thanks in advance
Just check what is the edition number (or year published) from your YOUNGER daughter's latest 2024 Sec 1 booklist (say, example : your Maths textbook, etc)

Vs. (Against)

that edition number or the year published of your OLDER daughter's textbook.

If no change , still can use

OR

If they say \"just a Re-print, that's all, without making any new changes\" means still can use, because no content inside has been changed (altered).


You can bring along your OLDER daughter's textbook to any Popular bookshop branches, and

compare the pages
either page by page or randomly, against the latest edition of your YOUNGER daughter's textbook. From there, u will know whether need to buy new book, or don't waste $, no need to.

Have you got the booklist? It should give titles and publication dates which you can check against the old books.

Most subjects have several textbook series approved by MOE, so you need to get the series the school uses. Also, new editions come out every few years, so a new edition may have been published in the past 2 years.

Hihi sorry..can chk what you mean by chances ..an uphill task?

To get into MEP is tough?

To have MEP plus a prerequisite to join a music related CCA can be tough in terms of time & commitment?

To go for both MEP + 3rd language, will be tough in terms of time&commitment ?

To ask to be allowed to join MEP+3rd language is uphill task? or

To ask to drop the 3rd lang after the successful MEP admission, is an uphill task?
Sorry, was referring to the MT exemption Q.

Some used these special programs to DSA/EAE into their desired JC & poly courses too.
Agree. For those who are into art or music, time spent on practising will not be considered as a chore. Those are the suitable ones. These programs are designed for kids with such interests, expanding from the standard academic subjects. The system is now recognising more different areas of learning hence no need to be too constrained by the traditional standard academic area if one can do well in another.
There is no need to force a fish to learn how to climb a tree now.

I recall in my child’s class there was one kid whose parents registered him (he was on the class name list) but in the end he never turned up in Jan. Eventually the school was informed that he’d gone to an international school instead and his Express seat was given to the next in line…and so on.

Those who wish to appeal for transfer better do so fast. Some schools like HCI, RGS etc., the deadline is already over!
To catch an early worm,
on that very morning when S1 posting results were announced via WhatsApp around 6+ am,
if students got balloted out unluckily but still have met that Sec school's Cut off point, many students already came forward, to start appealing.

I recall reading somewhere that MEP students in some schools are required to learn a second instrument (if they arent already doing so), on top of their existing one.[/quote]
That is the case for nygh but it’s not MOE MEP program it’s nygh own HMP program.

As long as the required MEP commitment in secondary school is still around 8 hours per week, it should be manageable? Although academic workloads in secondary school is more than primary school’s, that will be offset by able to manage more from being older? Does it work this way?
