are schools allowed to do this?

masterofIT SG

so can the school BAN a student from taking a particular subject during the O levels? .. when the registration of the papers were already done.

cuz currently. my school is threatening the 4E cohort that they will BAN us from taking a particular subject if we don't score well enough during the prelims (subjects like pure sciences and amaths). The worst part is that most of my schoolmates are left with ONLY 6 subjects now. Which means they will no longer be eligible for JC education if the school were to force them to drop yet another subject. Which we can't afford.

so will the MOE step in to help when the student/parents refuse to obey the instruction of the sch? (refuse to drop)...

My friends are pretty concern/worried with this issue.

can someone help? Sad

It’s unethical.Not sure about teh official MOE guidelines though

club18 SG

no.. not allowed..
u guys have registered already rite?

anw, my sch also got threaten b4 but its not allowed..
they cant prevent u from entering the exam u have registered and paid for.
however, if u like really weak in the subject,
a absent on the cert would look alot nicer than a f9.

They can't force you to do anything. If you have paid and have that subject on your entry prove, you can be able to enter the examination hall. If they want insist of banning you all from the subject even after you all have paid.

Blow this matter big. Laughing

this actually happened last year i think . Students were barred from entering the examination hall simply because of their long hair . Shocked

ditzy SG

Now you know why students are getting out of hand? We are feeding them misinformation. Laughing

rathcycle SG

iaintmad SG

If hair long, they can ban us frm entering the examination hall?

FYI: long = touch collar , touch ear. not exceeding, but just touching

allentyb SG

they can't ban you from taking any examination, but they will discourage you from taking that exam, as it will affect the school rating.......

i also kenna before
