Overview of the Sec 1 Posting Results 2021

The Ministry of Education (MOE) has released the Sec 1 posting results for 2021, with over 10,000 students receiving their school placements. The posting exercise was conducted based on students' Primary 6 Leaving Examination (PSLE) results and their choices of secondary schools.

Key Findings

• Over 90% of students were posted to their first or second choice school.
• The most popular schools among students were Raffles Institution, Hwa Chong Institution, and Nanyang Girls' High School.
• There was a slight increase in the number of students posted to Express courses, with 60% of students being placed in this stream.

Impact of the Sec 1 Posting Results

The Sec 1 posting results have a significant impact on students' future education and career paths. Students who are posted to their preferred schools are more likely to be motivated and achieve academic success. In contrast, students who are posted to less desirable schools may experience lower levels of motivation and engagement.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

There are several common mistakes that students should avoid when receiving their Sec 1 posting results:

• Not accepting the posted school immediately. Students who do not accept their posted school by the deadline will be placed in a school that has vacancies.
• Changing schools after the posting exercise. Changing schools after the posting exercise is not advisable, as it can disrupt students' education and social development.
• Being discouraged by a lower PSLE score. Students who receive lower PSLE scores should not be discouraged. There are many opportunities for students to succeed in secondary school, regardless of their PSLE results.
