The document discusses Singapore's new PSLE scoring system. The previous system emphasized comparisons to peers using T-scores and bell curves which caused stress. The new system uses Achievement Levels from AL1 to AL4 which correspond to grades to reduce stress and encourage learning strengths. It allows subject-based banding so students can excel in different subjects. The goals are a more balanced education focused on individual progress, personalized learning, and less reliance on exams.
