SECONDARY ONE POSTING EXERCISE TO BE MADE MORE
CONVENIENT FOR PARENTS |
|
|
Parents of Primary 6 pupils will have an
additional channel of submitting their child¡¯s school choices for the
Secondary One posting exercise at the end of this year. |
|
The Ministry of Education (MOE) will be
introducing a new Internet System to make it more convenient for parents
to be able to submit their child¡¯s Secondary One school choices online. |
|
The new Internet System will also give
parents the option of checking their child¡¯s Secondary One posting
results online. |
|
Parents can alternatively check the posting
results via a new Secondary One Telephone Interactive Voice Response
System, also to be launched at the end of this year, or as in previous
years, go down to their child¡¯s primary school to find out the posting
results. |
|
Ms Lim Huay Chih, Director, School Planning
and Placement Division, Ministry of Education, said, "With the
refinements made to the Secondary One posting process, parents now have
the option of not having to make physical trips to their child¡¯s primary
school to submit the school options or to find out their child¡¯s posting
results. This is part of MOE¡¯s efforts to improve service delivery and
increase convenience to parents through offering an additional channel." |
|
Parents of a Primary 6 pupil will be issued
with a unique Secondary One Personal Identification Number (or S1 PIN)
later this year, together with their child¡¯s Primary School Leaving
Examinations (PSLE) results. This S1 PIN will enable parents to register
their school choices for their child using the new Internet System.
Parents are advised to keep their PIN confidential. |
|
Parents using the Internet System are
strongly encouraged to complete the hardcopy worksheet in the Secondary
One posting exercise booklet before they log into the system to submit
their school options for their child. |
|
The hardcopy worksheet provides a
useful guide to parents and will reduce the time parents need to
complete the online application. The online screen shots of the
application and posting results release processes are shown at
Annexes A and B respectively. |
|
Staff at the primary schools will be
on hand during the application and posting results release periods
to provide assistance to parents if required. |
|
MOE and the schools will also support
parents who would like to use the Internet System but have
problems doing so. Parents can refer to the Internet System
website or contact MOE¡¯s Customer Service Centre for assistance. |
|
Parents who wish to use hardcopy forms
to submit their child¡¯s school options to the primary school can
still do so. The Secondary One posting exercise procedures remains
unchanged. |
|
Details of the Secondary One posting
exercise and the Secondary One Internet System will be provided in
the Secondary One posting exercise booklet, which will be
distributed to all Primary 6 pupils by end of September. |
|
Background |
|
The Secondary One posting exercise is
an annual posting exercise conducted by MOE to post Primary 6
pupils, who have passed their PSLE, to a secondary school based on
merit and their school choices. |
|
Currently, parents have to make a trip
to their child¡¯s primary school to submit their school options
after the release of the PSLE results, and another trip to collect
their child¡¯s Secondary One posting results when it is released. |
