SINGAPORE – Neighbourhood secondary schools are attracting more students via the Direct School Admission (DSA) exercise, with schools saying they have been seeing rising interest and an increase in application numbers.
The Ministry of Education (MOE) says that the proportion of DSA applications for the non-integrated programme (IP) track has gone up. Students in the non-IP track take the O-level examinations after four years, while those in the IP track bypass the O levels and take the A-level exams after six years.
