I have read a lot of complaints about unfairness of the present system, but none of the few proposals given in BK has received widespread support. The conclusion is apparently, "no system is fair and desirable to everyone". We can only pick a system which is the least evil to children.
Should fairness be the only concern in the system? Communism advocates "fairness" by making everyone "proletarian" (the "no asset class"), but it is a proved failure. The only "fairest" system I can think of is a city-wide "lucky draw", where even geographical vicinity should not be considered, but is this what parents really want? If the geographical factor is added, some parents would complain that they cannot afford moving to an area where more prestigious schools are located. Adding any other factor would cause some groups of people to complain anyway.
Currently the P1 admission system has some elements of:
1. ability-based assessment (private and DSS)
2. religious and family background (Discretionary stage, some private schools and DSS)
3. Geographical vicinity (central allocation)
In my humble opinion, the current system may have space for fine-tuning to prevent excessive pre-school training, but the overall direction (i.e. retaining different elements) should be preserved.
DSS's are often targets for attacks because they receive government subsidies and yet they are regarded as not treatinig children equally, e.g. their assessment (interview) methods, high tuition fees, preference to certain groups (expressed, implied or hidden); however, it's understandable that different DSS's can set their own assessment criteria so that they can utilise their human and monetary resources more effectively in teaching their target group of students. |
