O believe the new initiative should start with the children who is now entering reception so it give time to gradually work with each step towards the hybrid approach to exams. The current situation will have children and teachers who were use the current method frustrated. Imagine 4 or 5 years of being prepared for something to have it switched. Not kool

The changes are fundamental, yet they feel cosmetic. And with teachers listed among the sceptics, it needs to be sold first.

Our children are our future . We need to ensure that what ever plans are in place are sound, tested and feasible before fully implemented. There is limited scope for mistakes when dealing with the future of this generation.

Ongoing assessments should have been incorporated and not used to replace the common entrance exam.

This is too rushed. We were told that we need not worry because we were the last year to do the common entrance and now this was forced on us we no real consultation. Lets to better and give respect to all and adequate notice.

Such a big change with no pilot?
Still so many unanswered questions.
Too rushed!

The process is being rushed. There isn't enough that’s known about it. No syllabus has beem provided to teachers, who are unsure as to what is required. Should be tried in the lower aged groups first,as they come up.

All the students should be judged based on the same criteria and continuous assessment as we know it does not guarantee this.

Education is an extremely important developmental step. This project seems rushed and more information needs to be provided for parents and teachers. Procedures need to be streamlined and there must be valid and informative checks and balances in place for accountabilitity.

Where is the testing phase? What about the criteria test, what does that indicate to the ministry? All the consultants and really class 3 is the best place to start? Telling schools find the time to add project based work in school period for two terms in an already hectic curriculum? Why not have the projects be based on a social topic and let it be a part of social studies/civics class, a science experiment during science class. Make it cohesive. Don't fail our children.

The children are the future, reform must make sense and be implemented in phases with close monitoring. 2 to 6 week is not enough

I believe that the new proposed approach to the Common Entrance is not the best method. The old method is the most equitable.
