![Page 2: Subject-Based Banding. Students who did not perform well in Primary 4 examinations Streamed into EM3 classes in Primary 5 and 6 Took all subjects.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102818/56649d055503460f949d868a/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Students who did not perform well in Primary 4 examinations Streamed into EM3 classes in Primary 5 and 6 Took all subjects at the foundation level Might take Mother Tongue (MT) at the standard
level if they were strong in MT
Previous System (before 2008)
![Page 3: Subject-Based Banding. Students who did not perform well in Primary 4 examinations Streamed into EM3 classes in Primary 5 and 6 Took all subjects.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102818/56649d055503460f949d868a/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
To recognise the different abilities of students
Provide more flexibility in subject combinations for students with strengths and abilities that vary across subjects
Removal of Merged and EM3 streams in Primary 5 and 6
Why introduce Subject-Based Banding?
![Page 4: Subject-Based Banding. Students who did not perform well in Primary 4 examinations Streamed into EM3 classes in Primary 5 and 6 Took all subjects.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102818/56649d055503460f949d868a/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Greater flexibility in subject combinations
Your child has the choice to take a combination of standard and foundation subjects, depending on his strengths
What Subject-Based Banding means for your child
![Page 5: Subject-Based Banding. Students who did not perform well in Primary 4 examinations Streamed into EM3 classes in Primary 5 and 6 Took all subjects.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102818/56649d055503460f949d868a/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
How does Subject-Based Banding Work?
Student takes subject combination chosen by parents
School recommends subject combination, based on P4 exam results. Parents indicate
preferred combination.
[At P4]
[At P5]

How does Subject-Based Banding Work?
Student who takes 1 or more foundation subject(s) and does very well in them
Student who takes standard subjects and has difficulty coping
All other students
School may allow him to upgrade 1 or 2 subjects to standard level if school believes he can cope; or continue the same subject combination in P6
School may allow him to take 1 or more subjects at foundation level in P6
School will allow them to continue the same subject combination in P6
[End of P5]
Student takes subject combination decided by school
Student sits for Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE)
[At P6]
[End of P6]
![Page 7: Subject-Based Banding. Students who did not perform well in Primary 4 examinations Streamed into EM3 classes in Primary 5 and 6 Took all subjects.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102818/56649d055503460f949d868a/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Progression to secondary level depends on PSLE Score. The scoring system is not new Different expectations of standard and foundation
subjects will be taken into account when the PSLE score is calculated
Offering weaker subjects at foundation level is not a disadvantage. Your child will be able to focus on building up strong
fundamentals in the weaker subjects
