For­mer ed­u­ca­tion min­is­ter Dr Nyan Gads­by-Dol­ly has urged par­ents to be cau­tious as the Gov­ern­ment rein­tro­duces the top 200 list for Sec­ondary En­trance As­sess­ment (SEA) stu­dents.

Speak­ing to re­porters dur­ing an in­ter­view at the Peo­ple’s Na­tion­al Move­ment Gen­er­al Coun­cil meet­ing held at the Pleas­antville Com­mu­ni­ty Cen­tre on Sat­ur­day, she said that while the rank­ing recog­nis­es achieve­ment, it has in the past caused stu­dents to feel dis­sat­is­fied with their re­sults.

“What was hap­pen­ing is that stu­dents were plac­ing for their first-choice school, so they were suc­cess­ful­ly plac­ing, but were still send­ing re­views to make sure that they were in the top 100, top 200, or even high­er,” she ex­plained.
