How else could you make kids study and how else could you decide who gets into which school?

Catholics go to Catholic schools, Presbytarians go to Presbytarian school, Buddhists go to Buddhist schools, those without religious affiliations can go to gov't school. Rich blokes can send their kids to private schools. Parents should also have the choice for "home-schooling." Those who choose not to go to school to avoid "instituitionalization" are free to do so.
Cheers!

What about non-affliated popular sec schools where the demand far exceeds the supply? Up to principal or board of directors discretion? Isn't this more open to abuse and 'kelong'? Right now the allocation at least is based on the student's ability. Of course the rich will always have the advantage of preparing their kids best for psle but to me allocation by psle results is still the fairest.

There will be no exams until the kids decide to enter college - to broaded their education base or further in specialization. Some may opt for music, stage theatre/opera or other Arts related fields and can be tested according to their skills. Why waste time with O and A levels?

Ok. For the "better" (or more prestigious schools) - either go private or since these schools are "academically superior" schools - then in this case, a selection examination can bset up for them.

I also echo the the cries of the ppl to ban opposition parties n throw their supporter into jail
Pauline Straughan? That twat has a feminist agenda but she has masterfully disguised herself as an academic/sociologist.
More daycare services, more work-life balance and flexi-hours (for women of course) won't work.
The truth is that the population pyramids of all advanced countries are shaped like a tower. In less advanced countries, people are hedging their bets by making more babies because infant mortality rate is high and adults don't live as long due to poor healthcare.
In advanced societies, you no longer need a lot of kids to help out at your farm. There are also other factors: birth control for both sexes, educated women preferring to party/work instead of making babies, more people seeing sex as recreation rather than a rite of procreation etc.
7 billion people. The world is already overpopulated. Just because the PAP govt wants a new generation of taxpayer/wage slaves doesn't mean you should give it to them.
In May, sociologist and former Nominated MP Paulin Straughan also called for PSLE to be abolished, as a way to reduce stress and encourage young couples to have more children.

That is a formula for mediocrity
Without meaningful exams to seggregate the good from the ordinary students, all schools will eventually drop to madrasahs standards.
I echo the call for the positions of ministar and ministar of state in the pm's office to be scrapped.
Hello hawker, not necessary. New Zealand primary school kids do not have examinations. Ask boss Sam if you need any confirmation.
That's why they turn into barbarians famous only for war dances?
