year.with another 31 secondary schools added to the Ministry of Education's full Subject-Based Banding programme this year.students take subjects at a higher or lower level based on their strengths. Subjects such as mathematics will be taught at three levels - G1, G2 and G3, with G standing for General. G1 will roughly correspond to today's N standard, G2 to the N standard, and G3 to the Express standard.
In response to Mr Baey Yam Keng , who requested for an update on the programme, Education Minister Chan Chun Sing told Parliament on Monday that three secondary schools that currently offer only the Express course will also be added to the programme in 2024. "Students have made more friends across courses, learnt new perspectives and how to relate to peers of different backgrounds, and have become more confident in themselves and their abilities."Parents interviewed by The Straits Times said they are already seeing the benefits of the programme.
Mr Kan said his son, who needed time and flexibility to learn science subjects, got the space to do so through subject banding."This was the subject that he had a bit of problem with at PSLE. With subject banding, he is able to learn science at a pace better suited for him, which will give him a stronger foundation in the subject," he said.
