Yes, this is real cases. Sis never promise guareete for singaporean but just a priority .... They al ...
Yes, I spoke to SIS admission officer and she confirmed that there is indeed no guaranteed spot for Singaporeans coz the school needs to maintain their standard and to recruit suitable candidates. The process of sifting happens in all schools nowadays and is thought to be necessary for maintaining a good standard. Having said that, I am not sure whether it is fair to label the children at only 3 years old, and I thought the school plays an important role to bring out the potential in their students, not vice versa. However this is a separate and complicated issue, not to be discussed here. Back to SIS, I do not think the selection process is like you mentioned, otherwise the proportion of Singaporeans in the school will never make up 40% (approximate), considering the fact that Singaporeans should be the minority group among overall applicants (we are talking about 4000 over applicants) and I am sure local families who are keen on SIS will be very aggressive and well prepared for the admission. The admission officer also mentioned that there are indeed different levels of priority, for eg, a Singaporean child with both Singaporean parents will enjoy higher priority than another with one Singaporean parent, or a Singaporean child over a non-Singaporean child with Singaporean parents, etc. This is fair and acceptable. As a Singaporean, I do hope the original intention of setting up SIS will not be too distorted, and that is to provide close-to-home education for overseas Singaporeans. |
