She said: 'It's a fact. If a student scored a Grade 4 or 5 for a
subject in the N levels, she is unlikely to pass the subject in the
O levels.'
N-level subjects are graded from 1 to 5, with 1 being the best
grade.
The principal added: 'Some...who don't qualify for poly will end up
in the ITE anyway, so they might as well go direct to the
ITE.'
She confirmed that she told the girls she wanted 100 per cent
passes in her school, but that what she meant was that she wanted
all her girls to do well in the O levels - not that she did not
want poor performers to tar the school's record or lower its
ranking.

wow this principal seems to be in the wrong line. she should be
in charge of qc in a factory since she is so efficient and decisive
in picking out 'not-up-to-standard'.
