A total of 255 Singaporean madrasah students sat for the primary school leaving examination (PSLE) this year, said the Islamic Religious Council of Singapore (Majlis Ugama Islam Singapura, Muis).
All four madrasahs that offered PSLE attained scores higher than the
Madrasah PSLE benchmark set by the Ministry of Education*. The schools are Madrasah Alsagoff Al-Arabiah, Madrasah Irsyad Zuhri Al-Islamiah, Madrasah Al-Maarif Al-Islamiah and Madrasah Wak Tanjong Al-Islamiah.
As the madrasahs have passed the 2014 to 2016 three-year assessment period, they will continue to be able to enrol Primary 1 students for the next assessment period of 2018 to 2020, Muis said.
Of this year's 255 Singaporean Primary 6 students who sat for the PSLE this
year, 249 students (or 97.6%) are assessed suitable to proceed to secondary school.
Muis will continue to extend its PSLE Assistance Package to all full-time
madrasahs whose students will be taking the PSLE in the coming year.
*Under the Compulsory Education Act, a madrasah’s average PSLE aggregate score must meet the PSLE benchmark at least twice in every three-year period to continue admitting Primary 1
students exempted from national schooling. The PSLE benchmark is pegged at the average PSLE aggregate score of Malay pupils in the six lowest-performing national primary schools who take four standard-level subjects.
