Subject-Based Banding (SBB)
Subject-Based Banding (SBB)
Previous System (before 2008)
 Students who did not perform well in
Primary 4 Examinations
- Streamed into EM3 classes in Primary 5
and 6
- Took all subjects at the foundation level
- Might take Mother Tongue (MT) at
the standard level if they were
strong in MT
Subject-Based Banding (SBB)
Why introduce Subject-Based Banding?
 To recognise the different abilities of
students
- Provide more flexibility in subject
combinations for students with strengths
and abilities that vary across subjects
 Removal of Merged and EM3
streams in Primary 5 and 6
Subject-Based Banding (SBB)
What Subject-Based Banding means to
your child
 Greater flexibility in subject combinations
 Your
child has the choice to take a
combination of standard and foundation
subjects, depending on his strengths
Subject-Based Banding (SBB)
Rationale and Intent
 Providing
our
weaker
pupils
a
differentiated curriculum that would best
maximise their potential.
 These
pupils may have particular strengths,
and we should develop them as much as
possible by offering them specific
subjects at a higher (standard)
level of study.
Subject-Based Banding (SBB)
Standard vs. Foundation Subject
 Foundation subjects put focus on mastery
of core content and skills.
 These
are pitched at a lower level as
compared to the corresponding standard
subject.
Subject-Based Banding (SBB)
What are the choices available?
If your child Your child may be recommended to take
(for P4 exam)

Subject-Based Banding (SBB)
At P4 to P5

results. Parents fill up an option form to
indicate preferred combination.

 Students take subject combination
chosen by the school.
