47 Secondary Schools to
Participate in the Direct School Admission (Secondary) Exercise
Student Selection |
|
|
|
|
The Direct School Admission Exercise (DSA)
aims to promote holistic education by giving participating schools
greater flexibility in selecting students while holding to the key
principles of transparency and meritocracy. |
|
For students, the DSA provides them the
opportunity to demonstrate a more diverse range of achievements and
talents in seeking admission to secondary schools. |
|
This year, 47 schools, four more than last
year, will be participating in the Direct School Admission Exercise for
admission to Secondary One in 2007 (DSA-Sec). |
|
Based on their track record of achievements
and their development plans for their niche areas, the following four
additional schools (in alphabetical order) have been approved by the
Ministry of Education (MOE) to offer discretionary places under the DSA-Sec
Exercise for schools with approved niche programmes: |
|
School |
Niche |
| Admiralty Secondary |
Robotics Enterprise |
| Clementi Town Secondary |
Uniformed Groups |
| Jurong Secondary |
Basketball |
| Yishun Town Secondary |
Uniformed Groups |
|
|
The full list of niche programme schools is
at Annex A. |
|
Direct School Admission Exercise for
Secondary Level |
|
Independent Schools (IS), Autonomous Schools
(AS) and schools with approved niche programmes (NS) have the
flexibility to admit up to 20%, 10% and 5% respectively of their intake
using school-based criteria. |
|
Schools offering Integrated Programme (IP)
and NUS High School will continue to have full discretion in admission. |
|
MOE will continue to invite applications
from schools interested to establish niche programmes in subsequent
years. |
|
Student Selection |
|
Each school has its own merit-based criteria
for selection (academic and/or non-academic criteria), based on the
student personal qualities and areas of focus (such as science, music,
sports) that the school would like to emphasise. |
|
Information on the schools participating in
DSA-Sec Exercise, their selection criteria and their application and
selection processes can be found on their respective websites. Annex
B lists the participating schools and their website URLs. |
