Each 1.5-hour session follows a structured 3-part format: reviewing GenieSmart mistakes, working through priority topics with guided practice, and closing with a consolidation recap.

How often are CAMPUS sessions and what is the learning cycle?

Sessions run for 1.5 hours once a week. Beyond the weekly session, students follow a structured 4-step learning cycle throughout the week to ensure consistent academic progression.

How soon can I expect to see results?

Most families see measurable progress in test papers and school results within 2 to 3 months of consistent attendance. Improvement is visible in scores, confidence, and academic approach by targeting identified gaps.

How does technology improve the learning experience?

Our AI ecosystem identifies academic gaps in 20-30 minutes. It provides real-time progress signals, instant marking based on MOE/PSLE standards, and strategic hints that build problem-solving confidence.

How are Geniebook teachers selected and trained?

We hire the top 1% of applicants via a rigorous 6-stage process. Every CAMPUS teacher is specifically trained to deliver personalised learning and monitor student comprehension in real time.

What is the Strengths Analysis?

The Strengths Analysis is a complimentary 20-minute AI-driven diagnostic assessment. It identifies your child's current academic standing and provides a map of strengths and weaknesses across the MOE syllabus.

Can my child join CAMPUS if they already use GenieSmart or GenieClass?

Yes. CAMPUS is designed to complement our other programmes. The PLP ensures CAMPUS sessions focus on areas needing the most personalised attention without duplicating what is covered online.

Is Your Child's Practice Material Current With the MOE Syllabus?

24 August 2026

Is Your Practice Material Aligned With the Latest MOE Syllabus?

Yes, ensuring your child's practice materials are aligned with the current MOE syllabus is absolutely critical. With the Ministry of Education rolling out significant updates, especially the revised Primary Mathematics curriculum affecting the 2026 PSLE cohort, using outdated resources can directly hinder your child's progress.

It’s no longer enough to just buy the latest assessment book off the shelf. Parents need to be aware of what has changed, what’s been removed and where the new focus lies. Otherwise, your child could be spending precious hours practising topics that will never appear in their exams.

Why Outdated Practice Material Is a Problem

The impact of a syllabus change is direct. Consider the upcoming 2026 PSLE. Students in Primary 6 that year will be the first cohort to sit for the national exam based entirely on the new 2021 MOE Mathematics syllabus. One of the biggest changes is the complete removal of the topic 'Speed'.

This means any past-year paper or assessment book printed before the syllabus update will contain entire sections on speed, average speed and related problem sums. Every minute your child spends on these questions is a minute not spent mastering topics that have grown in importance, like 'Ratio' and 'Fraction Model Methods'. It creates a false sense of preparation and wastes valuable time.

Key MOE Syllabus Changes You Must Know

MOE reviews its curriculum regularly to keep it relevant. While small tweaks happen often, we are currently in a period of significant shifts across several core subjects. Here are the most important ones to track.

The 2026 PSLE Mathematics Overhaul

The updated MOE Mathematics syllabus, which began its rollout with Primary 1 students in 2021, brings a more streamlined focus. For parents of upper primary students, these are the critical adjustments:

Topic Removed: 'Speed' is completely removed from the Primary 6 curriculum and will not be tested in the 2026 PSLE.
Increased Emphasis: With 'Speed' gone, the difficulty in Paper 2 is expected to pivot more heavily towards challenging 'Ratio' and 'Fraction' model-drawing questions.
Shifted Topics: To build a stronger foundation, some topics have been moved. For instance, 'Average' and 'Ratio' are now concentrated in Primary 6, allowing younger students to solidify their understanding of percentages and rates.

Shifts in the MOE Primary English Syllabus

The focus on effective communication is growing. The MOE Primary English syllabus framework reflects this with a significant change in scoring:

Oral Exam Weightage: Marks for the PSLE English oral exam have increased to 40. This signals a clear emphasis on spoken communication skills.
Writing Adjustments: While marks for Situational and Continuous Writing have been slightly reduced, students are now expected to weave more of their own ideas and personality into Situational Writing tasks.

Progressive Updates to the MOE Primary Science Syllabus

A refreshed MOE Primary Science syllabus was introduced in 2023. It is being implemented progressively, meaning students who were in Primary 3 in 2023 will follow this new syllabus all the way to their PSLE in 2026. The new curriculum aims to better develop 21st-century competencies and inquiry-based learning.

A Parent's Checklist for Syllabus Alignment

So how can you be sure the resources you're using are current? It requires a bit of proactive checking.

1. Audit Your Assessment Books: Don't just look at the publication year. Flip to the table of contents. For a P5 or P6 Mathematics book meant for the 2025/2026 exams, it should not contain a chapter on 'Speed'. If it does, it's outdated. You'll need to instruct your child to skip those sections entirely.

2. Ask Your Tuition Provider Direct Questions: Many parents feel shy to ask but it's your right. Use these direct questions:

"Is your curriculum specifically updated for the 2026 PSLE Mathematics syllabus changes?"
"How have you adjusted your practice questions now that 'Speed' is removed and 'Ratio' is more important?"
"Are your teachers, especially for English, trained on the new scoring emphasis for the oral exam?"

3. Trust but Verify: Look for providers who openly discuss these changes. At our learning centre, our curriculum team, which includes former MOE teachers, constantly updates our worksheets and AI-powered question bank. We have already removed 'Speed' questions for the affected cohorts and recalibrated the difficulty of our 'Ratio' and 'Fraction' questions to match the new MOE syllabus focus.

Staying informed about the MOE syllabus isn't about being 'kiasu'. It's about being smart with your child's time and effort. By ensuring their practice is purposeful and aligned with what their school is teaching, you are giving them the best possible support for their learning journey.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Is the Biggest Change in the PSLE 2026 Syllabus for Maths?

The biggest change in the MOE Mathematics syllabus for the 2026 PSLE is the complete removal of the topic 'Speed'. As a result, there will be an increased emphasis on challenging questions involving 'Ratio' and 'Fraction' model-drawing in Paper 2.

How Has the MOE Primary English Syllabus Changed for the PSLE?

The PSLE English oral exam weightage has increased to 40 marks, reflecting the MOE Primary English syllabus framework's growing focus on spoken communication skills. While the marks for writing have been slightly reduced, students are now expected to show more personal voice in Situational Writing.

Which Students Will Be the First to Take the PSLE With the New MOE Primary Science Syllabus?

The cohort of students who were in Primary 3 in 2023 will be the first to sit for their PSLE in 2026 under the refreshed MOE Primary Science syllabus. This new curriculum was introduced in 2023 and is being implemented progressively across the levels.

How Can I Tell if My Child's P6 Maths Assessment Book Is Outdated?

You can tell if a Mathematics assessment book is outdated by checking its table of contents for the topic 'Speed'. If the book is intended for the cohort taking the 2026 PSLE but still contains a chapter on 'Speed', it is based on the old MOE primary syllabus and is no longer current.

Why Is It Bad to Use Old Practice Papers for the New MOE Syllabus?

Using old practice papers is a problem because your child will waste valuable study time on topics that have been removed from the current MOE syllabus, such as 'Speed' in Mathematics. This time could be better spent mastering topics that have increased in importance, leading to a false sense of exam readiness in the Singapore education system.
