Spoke to MOE and got this feedback from them:

1) students in Primary level starts to learn topics in secondary schools;

2) MOE knows that schools are taught more than what is required but MOE did nothing to it.

3) the math concept teaching in P2 and P3, under MOE guideline, is suppose to be a 2 stage solving problem. But some schools set the questions with 4-5 stages solving method.

4) Remove the teaching of human internal systems; the learning of human cells in science topics.

Results from stress from schools/Moe:

1) parents are unable to coach their kids even in P2 level. One parent called up FM93.8 and commented that he cant even solve a P6 maths question even he is master degree holder;

2) children are force to learn topics in P4 and 5 when they are in lower primary... this was from a parent that called in to Ufm100.3 to complain;

3) children lost the desire to learn...they are learning things that has no interest to them..like cytoplast in p5, human internal systems... just to name a few;

4) MOE knows the problem but did nothing to warn against the schools;

Side effects:

1) an increase in tuition centers for the past 10 years, this reflects the level of stress children and parents alike are facing.

2) teachers dont even bother to teach, they pass the teaching to tuition centers..this was from parents after the Parents-meeting with the teachers.

3) an influx of assessment books in major bookshops; parents are normally lost in choosing the right ones for their kids.

1) Review and revise the topics taught especially in maths and science;

2) Revise or remove the question statement that are tested in lower primary block;

3) Provide more information in the science text book. The current text in lower block are too thin, and not much information.

Teachers in North Vista Primary school can advise parents to buy other science books to compliment the text book.
