Results of this year's Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE) will be released next Thursday, and pupils can get their result slips from their respective primary schools from 11am.

Eligible pupils will also receive option forms to select secondary schools when they collect their result slips, the Ministry of Education (MOE) said in a statement yesterday.

The Secondary 1 option forms will have a personal identification number which can be used to make a submission online.

Submissions can be made online from 11am on Nov 21 to 3pm on Nov 27. Alternatively, submissions can be made at primary schools from 11am to 3pm on Nov 21, and 9am to 3pm on Nov 22, 25, 26 and 27.

Posting results will be released on Dec 20 via SMS, online or at the pupil's primary school.

Pupils are to report at 8.30am on Dec 23 to the secondary schools they are posted to.

More information on the posting process can be found on MOE's website (www.moe.gov.sg/s1-posting).

Those intending to apply to the two specialised schools for Normal (Technical) students - Crest Secondary and Spectra Secondary - can apply directly to the schools from 11am on Nov 21 until 3pm on Nov 27.

Application forms for the two schools will be available at primary schools when pupils receive their results, or from the two schools' websites.

Pupils who are successful in their application will be informed by Dec 13, and their other school choices will be voided.
