Do they(schools) have the rights to do so?

Although they can't... they have a reason for dropping you.
Looking at the subjects they are forcing you to drop, are you doing well in them? And did they offer you an alternative? For A Maths, there's no alternative. For Science, did they offer you to do Combined Science?
The offering of alternatives is important, because there's a reason for doing so.
These subjects require more work... don't do well... the school might jolly well force you to drop, whether or not you paid and registered. Bringing up to MOE or SEAB might not help, because your results can't prove that you are doing well.
Note that this has nothing to do with pulling the whole cohort's results down, but rather an individual's interest.
Unless you are doing well... then bring it up to MOE or SEAB. -

But I believe that if a student wishes to take the exam, he/she should not face any restriction over whether he or she can take the exam. If the school chooses to force a student to drop, the student may simply refuse to withdraw his registration and payment.
There are students who do awfully bad in internal examinations but have shown to have scored distinctions at the GCE level.
Therefore, it's the principle of it all that matters. I've a friend who went all the way to be allowed to drop Mother Tongue at the AO Level and succeeded. Realistically and technically, what can the school do, short of making up a file of unsuitability of character? -
they can..
they will force u to take ur 0 level next year
and they will declare to the MOE tat u are not in the right condition to take 0 level..
MOE will accept.
my sch like tat.

so steady ar?...wha...what school? -
tell them you are not dropping and bring it all the way up to moe and news if they try and insist.

in his case its for the lvls not like streaming and offering him subjects. he did say he already registered for the Os. The results won't matter because the registration is already done.Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:Although they can't... they have a reason for dropping you.

Besides, its always useful to bring it all the way up. it normally works based on publicity.
of course they could possibly find excuses and ways to force the issue, but then thats up to him to blow up or diffuse.
anyway why is the school trying to force you to drop?
