PSLE新加坡小學離校考試(也稱爲小六會考)幾天前開考啦!
毫不誇張地說,在新加坡公立教育體系下學習的小孩,人生的第一道分水嶺就是從PSLE(小六會考)開始的。小六會考是新加坡精英教育的第一次大規模分流,小朋友就此分別搭上高鐵和普快,基本沒得換車。?以後還想上高鐵,也只有站票了。所以PSLE又因爲競爭程度激烈,被稱爲“新加坡高考”。
PSLE重要性
新加坡小六離校會考(Primary School Leaving Examination,簡稱PSLE)。聽起來平平無奇,但幾乎是新加坡最重要的考試,家長爲了孩子備考PSLE而辭去工作專職陪伴的大有人在。
新加坡媒體「海峽時報」旗下的Singapolitics網站曾舉辦投票活動,在2萬1000個投票意見中,小六會考是新加坡人關注的10大議題之一。
新加坡國寶級電影人梁智強也以此爲題材連拍兩部電影《小孩不笨》、《小孩不笨2》,引起了很多人的共鳴。
PSLE分流途徑
一場升學考試爲什麽會有這麽高的流量?因爲新加坡的精英制度,在這兒體現得杠杠的。完成華文、英文,科學和數學四門科目的考試後,孩子們會分流,進入三個不同等級的中學課程。
直通車計劃
考分前5%的學生進入“直通車計劃”(IP計劃),可以不經過O水准考試直接升JC(初級學院),如同坐上直升機,一覽衆山小。但大多數學生會升入快捷班(56%)和普通班(38%)。
快捷班
快捷課程學制四年,畢業之後學生需要參加O水准考試,憑成績決定是升入初級學院還是理工學院等,也相當于進入快車道吧。
普通班
而普通課程的學生學制五年,想要上初級學院更難。他們需要通過兩次考試,成績優異者才能念初級學院。只通過一次考試的人只能上技術學院。
以此類推,雖然新加坡的大學也會面向技術學院招生,但該類學生會面臨考試難度的問題。崇尚精英教育的新加坡通過層層篩選之後,只有30%的學生能進入大學。體制結構更像一把漏鬥,學生分化就從PSLE開始。

父母的努力
或許教育部“因材施教”的出發點是好的,問題是誰能接受自己的孩子在分流中被導入“末流”?分流是殘酷的,你不努力就會被抛下,除了幫助孩子力爭上遊,別無選擇。
甚至在新加坡還發展出一類特別的輔導機構,專門爲父母們開放,學習內容就是孩子們的小學課程。這些操心的家長希望回家後能更好的輔導孩子。BBC曾報道過這類機構的收費,4天課程得花費家長們500新元。
這些操心的父母們還有個專有名詞叫“Kiasu”(怕輸),網站Kiasu Parents(怕輸父母)也是特別紅火,家長們互相交流教育心得、考試秘笈。
PSLE引發討論
PSLE應不應該進行分流?這是新加坡教育界人士一直爭論不休的問題。只能說,分流對于有能力的人是機遇,而對于沒有能力的人是惡夢。
再上一張新加坡教育分流導致的人生殊途,給大家感受一下酸爽:
這個世界恐怕永遠也做不到資源絕對平均,那麽考試分數,也許是唯一看起來最公平的衡量標准。
PSLE重大改革
教育部宣布,從2021年起,小六會考將以“八級”的積分等級(Achievement Level,簡稱AL)制,來評估學生自身學習表現,弱化現在實行的具體分數的比較,給孩子們帶去的壓力。
AL制共分AL1-AL8,數字最小,成績越好。
Standard級別(難)轉換表如下
Foundation(簡單)級別轉換表如下
按照這個標准,最優秀的學生選擇四個較難級的考試,最好可以只積4分,最差積32分,而一旦選擇了簡單級別的考試,一門課最少也要積6分。
所以應運而生的中學入學分數就變成了4-20分進EXPRESS(快捷),23-24分進普通學術,25以上是普通工藝……見下圖:
平分怎麽辦?
現行的積分制度,很容易造成平分,教育部也公布了這種情況怎麽辦,校方將根據以下三個條件來分配學額:
-
國籍(公民優先)
-
所選擇的學校次序
-
電腦抽簽
-
如果報讀特選中學,修讀高級華文的學生將有優先權。
進入中學後能否讀高級母語
進入中學後,在新的積分等級制度下,如果要選修高級母語,學生必須:
-
小六會考四個科目總成績須不超過8分;
-
或總成績介于9至14分,但當中在母語科考取AL1或AL2等級,
-
或高級母語科考取特優或優。
-
以上三條都沒達到的,學校也會根據綜合成績酌情考量
而目前的規則則是,小六會考成績在前10%或成績前30%+母語考到90分以上,整體來看,新規後讀高級華語的優勢會縮小。
可能,很多家長不再讓孩子選高華,華語在新加坡的推廣形式…不容樂觀。
新加坡最好的中學之一:南洋女中
從2020年小五生開始,學校發給小五和小六生的學校考試成績單將呈現學生各科的積分等級,讓學生與家長熟悉新的積分等級制。
教育部將在2021年上半年,提供各所中學以積分等級計算的截分點,幫助家長和學生選中學時做出知情的選擇。這些截分點將根據2020年中學分配活動結果推算。
中學參考排名
孩子能升學到什麽樣的初中,除了孩子自己的PSLE成績之外,家長們還要參考以往的中學錄取的PSLE成績區間。
