The Singapore Examinations and Assessment Board (SEAB)
will be introducing the Singapore International Primary school Leaving
Examination (iPSLE) in August 2005 in designated overseas Examination centres. |
|
The iPSLE is the international version of the
Singapore Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE) and is designed for pupils
in overseas schools that adopt a curriculum similar to the Singapore primary
school curriculum. |
|
The iPSLE is only offered to pupils enrolled in
overseas schools and serves to assess and certify their academic attainment
based on the Singapore primary school curriculum. |
|
The iPSLE will have a different set of question
papers from the PSLE but the examination format and standard will be similar
to the PSLE. |
|
Overseas pupils may use iPSLE results to apply for
admission to Singapore secondary schools. School principals can admit pupils
based on iPSLE results in lieu of the school entrance tests, subject to
availability of vacancies after the Secondary One posting exercise conducted
by the Ministry of Education. |
|
The first designated overseas examination centre
is the Nasional High Junior School, Jakarta, a member of the Piaget Academy (http://www.piagetacademy.org).
Interested candidates can register with the school in March/April 2005. |
|
Further information on the iPSLE is available at
SEAB's website (http://www.seab.gov.sg).
