GCSEs are too easy and should be abolished. Discuss - TimesOnline


GCSEs are too easy and should be abolished. Discuss

Source: TimesOnline, May 5 2009

Asking how GCSEs could be reformed is the wrong question. We are tinkering with a system that was designed for a different age. What we should be asking is: why do we make our children sit these exams at all?

O-level and CSE examinations, the precursors to GCSEs, were introduced at a time when most students finished their education at 16. They provided an assessment of children at the end of their compulsory education and they told an employer something about that student’s ability.

Today, only a few do not go on to study for A levels, diplomas or other qualifications and by 2013 it will be compulsory for all students to stay on in education or training until 17. By 2015 this will apply to all 18-year-olds. What we really need is a sensible assessment system that helps 16-year-olds to choose the right course for the next stage of their education.

We are using GCSEs to do that job now. But that is a hugely expensive and bureaucratic way to help students, their parents and teachers to find the 16-plus course that suits them.The CSE and O-level system was more straightforward and far cheaper.

Today’s GCSEs involve an increasingly complex rubric of assessment and coursework, which lends itself to a flawed system.

One problem with course work is detecting plagiarism; another is the extent to which students may be helped by their parents, which favours the middle classes. [Read more...] about GCSEs are too easy and should be abolished. Discuss - TimesOnline

Why Ten Years Series Books Are Missing From Bookshelves?


Copyright issues hit 10-year series

Read the full story here

My Point of View:

Since the O level Elementary and Additional Mathematics syllabus have recently changed, the ten years series might not be so relevant, instead it could cause more confusion when students are not fully aware of the out of syllabus questions.

What are your thoughts on this matter? Does it affect you?

Ai Ling, Ong featured in Mathematics.com.sg as a specialist O Level Math Coach


I would like to thank the owner of Mathematics.sg for featuring me in their website. Some parents have been calling me after searching online for Mathematics tuition, particularly O level Math Tuition or O level Math Tuition Teacher or Tutor.

Unfortunately, for those who are seeking individual one to one coaching, I am unable to accommodate as my slots have been taken up since 2008 through recommendations and referral from parents and students. But for those who still wish to be personally coached by me, you can still join me in our weekly coaching programme, A-Math Ultimate Leap Programme.

For those who are relatively new here, I guess you would be more interested to find out who is Ai Ling, Ong, what does she do and perhaps what this website, singaporeolevelmaths.com (since 2007, ranked #1 on Google & Yahoo for 'o level math tips') is all about.

For enquiries, please call me at 9685 7675 (Kindly leave me a voice mail or sms if you cannot get me)
