Student Option Programme
The Student Option Programme (SOP) is an elective subject allocation tool to assist schools in designing time blocks of elective subject groups for allocating elective subjects to upcoming S4 students so as to maximise the satisfaction rate of students’ choices under schools’ various constraints. It also helps schools to print students’ individual timetables incorporating the timetabling results generated by CloudSAMS.
