Janil Puthucheary on challenging questions in PSLE papers
The Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE) has questions of varying difficulty levels to allow students with different abilities to demonstrate their understanding, said Senior Minister of State for Education Janil Puthucheary. Challenging questions make up approximately 15 per cent of total marks in each subject. Replying to an MP's questions in parliament on Tuesday (Nov 4), he pointed out that all questions, including challenging ones, are based entirely on the primary school syllabus and do not require knowledge beyond the curriculum. However, challenging questions require students to apply the concepts in novel and authentic contexts.
