![]() WAWIN School of Excellence will be increasing its grades cut-off marks for the Grade 11 selection next year, says an official. Principal Pal Pu announced during the 22nd graduation that selection mark will increase from 90 to 120. “We used to select students who scored around 90 per cent, but now we will be increasing the bar to 120,” he said. Pu explained that the further increment is following the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (Stem) education, which the school is also offering and it only requires top students to take the course. “The Stem curriculum is much stronger because most of the units are more like the foundation courses that are offered at the universities,” he said.
He said those who score less than 120, will not be selected because they want quality and competitive students because the kind of curriculum being offered is very challenging. Meanwhile, he said the school has graduated the second batch of Stem students and those students will be sitting for both the Stem and Outcome-based Education (OBE) examination. “Even though they are not going through the OBE syllabus in class, but only doing Stem subjects, they are still eligible to sit for the OBE exams,” he said. “The difference is that many of OBE topics are in STEM curriculum as well.” While the Stem students would sit two examinations (OBE and Stem), the students taking normal classes will only sit for OBE.
