小六会考成绩今天放榜，全国及格率达到97.3%，比去年进步一点点，超过4万3000多名考生能升上中学。而今年的全国状元来自乐赛小学。
新传媒新闻报道，小六会考成绩今天放榜，全国及格率达到97.3%，比去年进步一点点，超过4万3000多名考生能升上中学。而今年的全国状元来自乐赛小学。
乐赛小学的陈建凯一点也没有料到，自己会以282分的高分，成为今年的状元。他说会自己做笔记，用简明易懂的词汇来温习功课，抓住课程的重点。不过，他说这次能考取高分，主要是靠外婆的鼓励。
陈建凯乐赛小学学生(状元)说：“因为我的外婆一直提醒我不能骄傲，要一直完成这个考试，也要尽力，要做到自己的最好。”
马来学生状元和印族学生状元则分别来自云海小学和恒力小学。教育部表示，今年有20所小学至少有一名考生考获275分的高分。至于六所参与小六会考的回教学校当中，华丹戎回教学校因为三年内两次无法达到教育部的标准，从2012年到2014年这三年之间，不得招收一年级新生。

"You must have a dream", says top PSLE student
Henry Park Primary School student is top Indian student this year.
12-year-old Muhammed Hameem considers himself an "average student', but his results in the Primary School Leaving Examinations (PSLE) have proven to be anything but.
The Henry Park Primary School student scored 274 in the PSLE, emerging the top student in the school. It was an honour he shared with another student, Li Yuan.
But the boy scout can add one more feather to his cap - Hameem is also the top Indian student in the cohort this year.
He credits his excellent results to being "attentive in class", and also to the support of his parents, who motivated him and "spurred him on" by using visualisation techniques.
Sounding wise beyond his years, Hameem has some advice for others who want to do well in their exams: "You must have a dream, and work towards a goal".
He also believes it must be an "intrinsic dream". "The motivation (to do well) must come from yourself, not other people," he says.
The passionate Science student will be enrolling in Raffles Institution next year. As for the future, Hameem says he would like to do something "science-related" as a career.
Another top student this year who loves Science is Bianca Udella Djongianto, 12, from Raffles Girls' Primary School.
The top student in RGPS scored 276 in the PSLE.
» Top PSLE student from Rosyth School
Born in Indonesia, her parents came to Singapore when she was one-year-old, in a bid to escape the racial riots in Jakarta.
Enrolled in the Gifted Education Programme (GEP), Bianca says she had set a target for herself - to score "between 260 to 270", but her results have surpassed her expectations.
Asked how she is planning to celebrate, Bianca says her parents are buying her a lap-top, as she may need it for school next year.
The science- and maths-enthusiast is hoping to enter NUS High next year, and says she wants to become a doctor in the future.

Student posts O Level paper on Twitter

STUDENT Xavier Ong took a picture of his O Level Social Studies examination paper with his camera phone and posted it on Twitter last week. In the tweet, Xavier wrote, 'Do you dare bring a phone into examination hall and take a picture?', challenging other students to follow suit.
This shocked a number of Twitter users locally as well as globally. A girl from the United Kingdom commented on his picture on Twitpic, saying, 'Is this legit?'
Having such attention has only made this teenager's resolve stronger to make more controversial comments. He admitted that he posted the picture as a publicity stunt and even released a video explaining how it all happened. At the end of the day, he hoped to gain more twitter followers after this incident.
In other news, some commuters have been experiencing some bumpy encounters while using public transport. Two women, both in their late 40s, made a mountain out of a mole hill after one of them bumped into the other while moving into the inner seat on the bus. The two women kept swearing at each other loudly in Hokkien all throughout the journey.

China's 'sexiest teacher' is web sensation
Like many pretty young girls, this teacher likes to post her photos online but some netizens wonder if it is appropriate.
This long-legged beauty with large eyes, and a sweet face is, to the surprise of some, a primary school language teacher.
Zhu Songhua, a 30-year-old primary school teacher became an Internet sensation in China after she appeared on a variety TV show aired on Jiangsu Satellite Television.
She appeared in a "Happy Night" programme, for a segment titled "My Teacher is Special".
Internet sources report that the teacher from No. 1 Primary School in Jiangsu has been teaching since she graduated from Nantong Normal University, and has won awards in teaching competitions.
A colleague said that she loves teaching and is an exceptional teacher. She also does not dress up at work, unlike in her photographs posted online.
While the report said she was single, a netizen who claimed to know her commented that she was married.
Would you accept a teacher like her? see the photos which caused the sensation, and judge for yourself.
