Year 1 Direct School Admission

 

The DSA-Sec exercise is an initiative by the Ministry of Education (MOE) that provides a pathway for students to gain admission to secondary schools based on their interests, aptitude and potential, beyond their performance at the Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE).
