Is the Gifted Education Programme being discontinued in Singapore?

Yes. The current GEP ends from 2027. From 2028, fifteen designated primary schools host centre-based advanced modules for high-ability learners instead of pulling students into a separate programme.

Which schools host the new GEP advanced modules?

Fifteen schools across Singapore: Ahmad Ibrahim, Clementi, Geylang Methodist, Innova, Jurong West, Kheng Cheng, Palm View, Pioneer, Punggol View, Queenstown, St. Gabriel's, Tampines, Teck Ghee, Yew Tee, and Yu Neng.

Will my child still take a GEP test in Primary 3?

There will still be a screening process at Primary 3 to identify high-ability learners, but selected students join their own school's advanced modules rather than transferring to a separate programme at one of nine GEP centres.

Do the new GEP centres still take Phase 2C P1 applications?

Yes. The fifteen designated centres are ordinary primary schools for P1 admission. Phase 2C ballot rates vary by school — the article maps each centre's vacancy and demand from the most recent intake.
