Janil Puthucheary on impact of DSA on Secondary 1 quota
Over the past five years, non-affiliated students comprised about half of the Secondary 1 cohort of affiliated secondary schools. The total number of Secondary 1 places offered in each school is the sum of planned places offered under the posting exercise and the Direct School Admission (DSA) exercise. Non-affiliated students admitted via the DSA exercise will be considered as taking up reserved places for non-affiliated students. In the past five years, there were only two instances where an affiliated secondary school filled all the reserved places for non-affiliated students in one posting group via DSA. Senior Minister of State for Education Janil Puthucheary said this in reply to an MP’s questions in parliament on Wednesday (Feb 4).
