SG-EDU Glossary + ID Registry v0.1 — Copyable Canonical Blocks (PG1/2/3, G1/2/3, PSLE AL, SEC, IP, DSA, AEIS, CCA…)

TITLE: SG-EDU Glossary + ID Registry v0.1 — Copyable Canonical Blocks (PG1/2/3, G1/2/3, PSLE AL, SEC, IP, DSA, AEIS, CCA…)
VERSION: CivOS Unified Spec v1.x
MODE: Almost-Code / LLM-first / WordPress paste-ready
OWNER: eduKateSG Fence Learning Systems
PLACE: SG
LANE: EDU
PURPOSE:
- One “drop-in” glossary + disambiguation pack you can paste into every SG Education page.
- Stable IDs + definitions + routing meaning (what it changes operationally).
- Prevents semantic drift when readers/LLMs mix old stream-era terms with Full SBB terms.
========================================================
0) CANONICAL DISAMBIGUATION BLOCK (PUT THIS NEAR TOP OF PAGES)
========================================================
DISAMBIGUATION.SG-EDU (v0.1)
- “Posting Group (PG)” ≠ old “stream”. PG is used for secondary school placement and to guide the initial subject levels at the start of Secondary 1. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
- “G1/G2/G3” = subject levels (a subject can be taken at different levels; this can differ by subject). :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
- “SEC” = Singapore-Cambridge Secondary Education Certificate; SEC provides syllabuses for G1/G2/G3 subjects for school and private candidates. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
- “PSLE Score” = sum of the Achievement Levels (ALs) of four subjects; PSLE Score ranges from 4 to 32. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
- “NEL Framework” guides preschool curriculum design for children aged 4 to 6. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
========================================================
1) ID GRAMMAR (LOCK)
========================================================
ID := SG×EDU×<Zoom>×<Role>×<Type>×<Name>
Zoom := Z0 learner | Z1 family | Z2 school | Z3 city | Z4 nation | Z5 civilisation | Z6 supranational
Role := Learner | Parent | Tutor | Teacher | Operator | Oracle | Visionary
Type := Term | Gate | Stage | Path | Exercise | Credential | Directory | Sensor | Protocol
========================================================
2) CORE STAGES (REGISTRY)
========================================================
SG×EDU×Z0×Learner×Stage×PRESCHOOL
- Notes: NEL (ages 4–6) curriculum framework anchor. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}
SG×EDU×Z0×Learner×Stage×PRIMARY(P1–P6)
SG×EDU×Z0×Learner×Stage×SECONDARY(FULL-SBB)
SG×EDU×Z0×Learner×Stage×POSTSECONDARY(JC/MI | Poly | ITE)
SG×EDU×Z0×Learner×Stage×UNIVERSITY
========================================================
3) GATES / CREDENTIALS (REGISTRY)
========================================================
SG×EDU×Z0×Learner×Gate×PSLE
Term: PSLE (Primary School Leaving Examination)
SG×EDU×Z0×Learner×Term×PSLE-AL
Definition:
- Achievement Level (AL) bands used per subject.
- PSLE Score = sum of ALs across 4 subjects.
- Score range: 4 (best) to 32. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}
Operational meaning:
- Gate output used for secondary posting and initial routing.
SG×EDU×Z0×Learner×Gate×SEC
Term: SEC (Singapore-Cambridge Secondary Education Certificate)
Definition:
- SEC examination syllabuses exist for G1, G2, G3 subjects and are offered for school and private candidates. :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}
Operational meaning:
- Secondary credential layer that encodes subject-level outcomes (G1/G2/G3).
========================================================
4) FULL SBB TERMS (PG + G-LEVELS)
========================================================
SG×EDU×Z0×Learner×Term×FSBB
Term: Full Subject-Based Banding (Full SBB)
Definition:
- From the 2024 Secondary 1 cohort, the Normal (Technical), Normal (Academic) and Express streams are removed; posting uses Posting Groups, and students have more flexibility to offer subjects at different subject levels as they progress. :contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8}
Operational meaning:
- System changes from “stream identity” → “subject-level stability routing”.
SG×EDU×Z0×Learner×Term×POSTING-GROUP
Term: Posting Groups (PG1 / PG2 / PG3)
Definition:
- Based on PSLE score, students are posted through three Posting Groups (1, 2, 3).
- Posting Groups are used for secondary school placement and to guide the initial subject levels students can take at the start of Secondary 1. :contentReference[oaicite:9]{index=9}
Operational meaning:
- PG is a routing label for entry; it is not a “ceiling”.
- Use it to set the initial load envelope, then adjust by subject once Phase stabilises.
SG×EDU×Z0×Learner×Term×SUBJECT-LEVEL
Term: Subject Levels (G1 / G2 / G3)
Definition:
- Under SEC, syllabuses are provided for G1, G2 and G3 subjects. :contentReference[oaicite:10]{index=10}
Operational meaning:
- “G” is per subject; different subjects can be at different levels.
- Use “G” as a load-control dial: keep learner in P2 while building upward.
========================================================
5) PRESCHOOL TERMS (NEL)
========================================================
SG×EDU×Z0×Learner×Term×NEL
Term: Nurturing Early Learners (NEL) Framework
Definition:
- Guides preschool curriculum development for children aged four to six. :contentReference[oaicite:11]{index=11}
Operational meaning:
- Preschool stage is buffer-building: language, self-regulation, curiosity, early numeracy.
========================================================
6) PROGRAMMES / ROUTES (COMMON SYSTEM TERMS)
========================================================
SG×EDU×Z0×Learner×Term×CCA
Term: CCA (Co-Curricular Activities)
Definition:
- CCA is a core part of holistic education (development beyond academics). :contentReference[oaicite:12]{index=12}
Operational meaning (CivOS):
- CCA is a resilience + social lattice lane, but it consumes load/time → must be fenced using TTC + sleep + drift sensors.
SG×EDU×Z0×Learner×Term×IP
Term: Integrated Programme (IP)
Definition (system meaning):
- 6-year integrated route (school-dependent outcomes such as A-Level / IB / other credential routes).
Operational meaning:
- IP compresses the “secondary exam gate” experience; demands stable Phase early.
Note:
- Keep IP fully enumerated on the dedicated IP directory page (since schools/outcomes vary by institution).
SG×EDU×Z0×Learner×Exercise×DSA-SEC
Term: DSA-Sec (Direct School Admission to Secondary)
Operational meaning:
- Alternative admission channel based on specific domains; still must maintain baseline academic stability.
SG×EDU×Z0×Learner×Exercise×AEIS
Term: AEIS / S-AEIS (Admissions Exercise for International Students)
Operational meaning:
- Entry gate for international students into selected mainstream levels; requires both academic readiness + language stability.
(These route terms are kept as “router nodes” here; the detailed eligibility windows and yearly variations live in the “Admissions Directory” page to avoid staleness.)
========================================================
7) DIRECTORY POINTERS (AUTHORITATIVE REGISTRIES)
========================================================
SG×EDU×Z2×Registry×Directory×SCHOOLFINDER
Meaning:
- Official directory for school listings (dynamic; don’t hardcode school lists on static pages).
SG×EDU×Z2×Registry×Directory×SEC-SYLLABUS-LIST
Meaning:
- Official SEC syllabus listing pages for G1/G2/G3. :contentReference[oaicite:13]{index=13}
========================================================
8) CIVOS SUPERPOWER LAYER (COPYABLE “OPERATOR NOTES” BLOCK)
========================================================
OPERATOR-NOTES.SG-EDU (v0.1)
- Treat PG1/2/3 as an entry routing label (not identity). :contentReference[oaicite:14]{index=14}
- Treat G1/2/3 as per-subject load dials; keep learner in P2 while building upward. :contentReference[oaicite:15]{index=15}
- PSLE/SEC are gates; the control target is Phase stability (P2/P3), not “more content”. :contentReference[oaicite:16]{index=16}
- Preschool is buffer-building; NEL anchors what “good foundations” means. :contentReference[oaicite:17]{index=17}
- Always route by: StageGate → PhaseHealth → TTC/BN → Coupling signatures → Fence (truncate/stitch/re-test).
========================================================
9) REQUIRED SHORT FAILURE TRACE (GLOSSARY EDITION)
========================================================
Trace:
Misread PG as “stream identity” → wrong subject levels → chronic P0 drift → backlog grows →
late panic → gate shock (PSLE/SEC) → collapse
Repair:
PG as entry only → choose subject levels as load control → keep P2 stable → early truncation →
stitch core nodes → transfer tests → gate-ready output
