The Ministry of Education should consider setting aside a fixed quota for students entering secondary schools without affiliation or under the Direct School Admission (DSA) exercise, Gho Sze Kee suggested in Parliament on Wednesday (Feb 4).This will ensure a «meaningful and predictable» number of available places for students applying through the Secondary 1 posting exercise with their PSLE results, the MP for Mountbatten SMC said.Gho also asked if there is a «compression» of available places for non-affiliated students, given that some students who enter through the DSA route «eat» into the slots reserved for non-affiliated students if they also fall into this category.In response, Minister for Education Desmond Ng said that school’s balloting rate ultimately depends on school choices, students’ decisions and DSA numbers.«The ministry will certainly study all of these suggestions,» he added.According to the ministry's guidelines, secondary schools are allowed to admit up to 20 per cent of their students through DSA, which allows Primary 6 students to gain early admission based on talent in areas such as sports and the arts.
