ha, just a quick look at the standard of language here, Sandra Davie writes the following "A SACRED cow in education was slaughtered yesterday when the MOE announced that students no longer need to count the grade for their mother tongue subject when applying for a university here"
She then goes on to write, "Students must still score at least a D7 in Chinese language or a pass in Chinese Language B to qualify for admission".
This is a complete contradiction of what she said at the begining of the article. Which is very funny and interesting to note what kind of people are writing in the Straits Times today.
"Another change, the American SAT will be dropped as admission criterion... the reason for the about face is that the new SAT, to be launched next year, would overlap with the new A-levels, which also emphasise reasoning skills"
Wtf would MOE want to do that? Thus can we expect SAT to be counted for admission next year? I really have no idea.
ok someone else did this topic.. sorry, can we close this?
