SINGAPORE - Students who missed parts of the O- and A-level mother tongue language examinations in June because of the Covid-19 pandemic will be fairly assessed and not disadvantaged, the Singapore Examinations and Assessment Board has said.
A spokesman for the board told The Straits Times that special consideration can be applied to the affected candidates, provided that they sit the remaining oral and listening comprehension examinations scheduled this month. Students who had been in contact with confirmed cases in schools were also issued a 14-day leave of absence by the Ministry of Education or home quarantine order by the Ministry of Health.
These include the candidate's performance in the other papers for the affected subject in the national examination, such as oral and listening comprehension; the school cohort's performance in the same examination; as well as the candidate's school-based assessment.
