For the second consecutive year, 98.5 per cent of Primary 6 students who sat for the 2025 Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE) can progress to secondary school.
The PSLE results were released from 11am on Tuesday (Nov 25).
A total of 37,926 students attempted the PSLE this year, said the Ministry of Education (MOE) and Singapore Examinations and Assessment Board (SEAB) in a joint statement on Tuesday.
The remaining students assessed to be unsuitable for secondary school can choose to retake the PSLE next year or apply to Assumption Pathway School and NorthLight School, which offer programmes with a more “experiential and hands-on learning approach”.
For the 2025 Primary 6 cohort, about 65 per cent of students eligible for Posting Groups 1 and 2 can take at least one subject at a more demanding level in Secondary 1.
The cohort’s overall performance is comparable with the previous batch of Primary 6 students, where 98.5 per cent passed the 2024 PSLE and about 65 per cent qualified for Posting Groups 1 and 2.
