Description
Summary:Nur ‘Ala Nur is a broadcast documentary that follows the journey of Madrasah Wak Tanjong Al-Islamiah in Singapore, as the school prepares its Primary Six students for the 2015 Primary School Leaving Examinations (PSLE) . Every madrasah in Singapore has to meet an annual PSLE benchmark score (which our interviewees call “the benchmark”), which determines whether the madrasah is able to enrol Primary One students for the following three years. Our documentary follows the madrasah’s 2015 PSLE preparations, explores the cultural and psychological consequences of the benchmark and touches on the significance of alternative education systems in Singapore.
