SINGAPORE: This year’s top Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE) student is Qiu Biqing from Qifa Primary School.
Qiu Biqing has an aggregate score of 290, and this is the first time the neighbourhood school has produced a top PSLE student.
The highest PSLE score ever recorded is 294 in 2007, from St Hilda’s Primary School.
Six other top PSLE students are also from neighbourhood schools. These primary schools include South View, Greenridge, Gongshang and Rulang.
The 2009 Primary 6 cohort is the first batch of pupils under Subject—based Branding who sat for the PSLE.
The branding programme was implemented from the 2008 Primary 5 cohort to give pupils the flexibility of taking a mix of subjects at Standard or Foundation levels, depending on their strengths and abilities in each subject.
97.1 per cent of pupils who sat for PSLE this year will proceed to secondary school.
Secondary One posting results will be released on Tuesday, December 22.

Education Systems in Singapore
Education in Singapore is managed by the Ministry of Education (MOE), which controls the development and administration of state schools receiving government funding, but also has an advisory and supervisory role in respect of private schools. For both private and state schools, there are variations in the extent of autonomy in their curriculum, scope of government aid and funding, tuition burden on the students, and admission policy.
Children with disabilities attend special education (SPED) schools run by Voluntary Welfare Organisations (VWOs), which are partially funded by the Ministry of Education. Education spending usually makes up about 20 per cent of the annual national budget, which subsidises state education and government-assisted private education for Singaporean citizens and funds the Edusave programme, the costs for which are significantly higher for non-citizens.
In 2000 the Compulsory Education Act codified compulsory education for children of primary school age, and made it a criminal offence for parents to fail to enroll their children in school and ensure their regular attendance.Exemptions are allowed for homeschooling or full-time religious institutions, but parents must apply for exemption from the Ministry of Education and meet a minimum benchmark. Special needs children are automatically exempted from compulsory education.
In Singapore, English is the first language learned by half the children by the time they reach preschool age and becomes the primary medium of instruction by the time they reach primary school. English is the language of instruction for most subjects, especially mathematics and the natural sciences; the official Mother Tongue languages are generally not taught in English, although there is provision for the use of English at the initial stages. Certain schools, such as secondary schools under the Special Assistance Plan (SAP), which encourages a richer use of the mother tongue, may teach occasionally in English and another language. A few schools have been experimenting with curricula that integrate language subjects with mathematics and the sciences, using both English and a second language.
Former Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew developed the idea of English as a common language in Singapore that both connected citizens of all ethnic-cultural backgrounds, so no ethnic group is forced to learn the language of another, and tied Singapore to the world economy....
