what's the rationale of doing so? let them and their parents feel good about themselves? to deflate the egos of other kids? i dont know. someone enlighten me
there is a need because it's a kind of affirmation for their hard work as well as pride for themselves and their school. i'm sure if your child is the top student in singapore, you will want others to know that he/she has done you proud?
also for those normal stream students that scored 6-8A1s, they serve as motivation for other normal stream students to emulate. it's media?
