No more naming of top students for national exams

The Ministry of Education (MOE) had announced that from this year on wards, the ministry will stop its practice of announcing the top-scoring students in the release of all national examinations results, starting from PSLE follow by GCE 'N' and GCE 'O' level results. At the same times, the naming of the top student from each ethnic group will also be scrapped.

The media is expected to highlight the performances of students from a variety of schools who have done well not only in the exams but also in other aspects as well.

As a parent, I am pretty happy of this announcement.
