ST SMART PARENTING
It is important you ask yourself - do you want him to go to your alma mater for the right reasons?
FUN WITH KIDS
From indoor playgrounds to attractions with animals, several new family-friendly places have popped up.
PSLE
When Mr Ignatius Lim Buan Tie was in Tanglin Primary School, he struggled with English and Mathematics and eventually failed those two subjects at the Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE).
For govt and govt-aided schools, cut-off point of 8-22 for the Express (O level) track, 22-25 for Normal (Academic), and 26 -30 for Normal (Technical).
It has been a long wait, but at last the Education Ministry revealed the details of the new Primary School Leaving Examination scoring system.

If your children love to read, but resist picking up books in their mother tongue language, you could very well be the reason.
Pre-school
Wearing a mask daily has become routine during the coronavirus pandemic and this practice is expected to continue under the "new normal".
Pre-schools have been coming up with creative ways to make the year-end ceremonies safe.
Each will provide full-day kindergarten care services and offer about 120 K1 places.
Primary school
The annual sports competition sees about 60,000 student-athletes competing across 29 sports.

JC/Poly/ITE
SINGAPORE - Before he graduated in 2013, Mr Shah Indra Jasni applied for an internship at La Pyramide, a two Michelin-starred restaurant in Vienne, France.
Over 200 have graduated from the 2½-year course, which received its 10th batch of students this year.
University
The three-year programme will allow students to gain on-the-job experience at established accounting firms.
Students may get the flexibility to pursue programmes across disciplines, with NUS planning to transform its educational model.
Degree = Jobs?
The universities, especially SIT and SUSS, are going big on combining work and study, and students spend up to a year on work-study programmes.

Over 700 organisations, firms, ministries and government agencies are offering more than 7,500 places.
