SINGAPORE: The Ministry of Education (MOE) has released data on the performance of the major ethnic groups in national examinations annually. It said this is to provide feedback to the communities on how their children fared in the examinations.
MOE said PSLE results have remained stable over the last 10 years, both in terms of overall percentage of passes and the proportion of PSLE students who scored A* to C in each subject.
Over the 10 years in terms of overall percentage passes at the PSLE, Chinese students improved further from 98.4 per cent in 2001, to 98.8 per cent in 2010.
Indian students improved from 93.7 per cent in 2001 to 95.3 per cent in 2010 while Malay students also improved, going from 92.0 per cent in 2001 to 92.5 per cent in 2010.
In the GCE O Levels, progress has been made in the overall percentage of students with at least three O-level passes and at least five O-level passes over the last 10 years.
Malay students improved as well, going from 83.9 per cent in 2001 to 87.1 per cent in 2010, while Indian students went from 89.1 per cent in 2001 to 91.7 per cent in 2010.
At the GCE 'A' Level, the overall percentage of students with at least 3 'A'/'H2' Passes and a pass in General Paper or Knowledge and Inquiry has improved over the last 10 years, from 85 per cent in 2001 to 91 per cent in 2010.
Chinese students and Indian students, who were at 85.4 per cent and 85.8 per cent respectively in 2001, have both improved. Chinese students pulled up their scores to 91.5 per cent in 2010 while Indian students pulled theirs to 88.3 per cent in 2010.
