Singapore primarily uses the Singapore Examinations and Assessment Board (SEAB) for the administration and management of national examinations. SEAB is a statutory board under the Ministry of Education (MOE) in Singapore. It is responsible for overseeing various examinations, including:
- Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE): Taken by students at the end of their primary education.
- GCE N-level (Normal Level) and O-level (Ordinary Level) examinations: These are taken by students at the end of their secondary education.
- GCE A-level (Advanced Level) examinations: These are taken by students at the end of their pre-university education, typically in junior colleges or centralised institutes.
- International Baccalaureate (IB) examinations: Some international schools in Singapore offer the IB curriculum, and SEAB facilitates the administration of IB examinations in the country.
SEAB is responsible for setting examination papers, appointing examiners, marking scripts, and releasing results. It ensures that the examination process is fair, transparent, and aligned with educational standards in Singapore.
