Grade Eight schol from next year
The Education Ministry plans to introduce a scholarship examination for Grade Eight students from next year following a proposal submitted at the Parliamentary Select Committee on educational reforms.
The proposed scholarship examination will provide a chance for the students to test their abilities for the second time at a mature stage, according to Education Ministry sources.
The sources said the Grade Five scholarship examination will not be scrapped and would be considered as an efficiency evaluation examination for students once the educational reforms and the Grade Eight scholarship examinations are introduced in 2012.
