Check from the link? :?

I was shocked to see only 2 physics teachers for nyjc before I realized that the list only shows the 'heads'. Why not show all teachers' names like acjc?

No need to be shocked! nyjc shows all their staff and photos on another part of their website under 'staff'.

Here is their science department: http://nanyangjc.moe.edu.sg/staff/academic-departments/science-department

Ohh...I see...so confusing for 'outsiders' such as mindays and myself...

While there are much staff's information and contacts exposed to public, I can't seem to find the jc's academic performance information which we are most interested in. Please guide. TIA.

Usually schools will not disclose these sensitive information easily unless they are thick skin enough to use it for publicity. Erm perhaps u might want to write in or just meet the relevant SHs during their open house coming Jan?


But from what I heard their results are quite competitive so should’t be a big issue bah IMO.

What do you mean by thick skin enough?
I see them as a way to applaud students and staff for their effort and at the same time provide information for the public to make better decision.

Anyway, schools cannot publish the full details so they will give results such as average UAP or % of 3 H2 or at least compare this year's performance to the previous year's. These are better than not giving any information as if the sch is not confident of revealing it's results.

I hope the SHs will disclose to me such information at open house. The leaders seem to be very secretive about them. I think they should share the news and not treat them as publicity.

If you do not use the information as publicity but simply to inform and applaud, you shouldn't feel guilty of harbouring ulterior motive when you share or think negatively when other jcs share theirs. Do you agree?

By not sharing their stats freely, more people will need to turn up at the open house to get the info. It will look very popular and boost potential applicants' confidence? :siam:

I could find it, it was not confusing for me. In fact, it is right under the \"Staff\" tab. It is your inability to find the necessary information and came with a misleading conclusion that it is not there. Really blur as your username?

By not sharing results does not mean it is secretive or not confident of sharing it's results. In fact, not all JCs share their results publicly. For example, ACJC and TJC. In fact, not many JCs share their detailed results. Why so? That's because MOE does not want parents to make use of results as the most important indicator to gauge a school's standard. MOE wants school to develop students HOLISTICALLY and not just ACADEMICALLY. You may be a book-smart student, but you may have no practical skills or character. What is the use then? Is it even purposeful?

In fact, NYJC fared well in the A Levels. For the recent 2015 A Levels:
Average UAP: 81
%Distinction for H2 Math: 65%
%Distinction for H2 Chemistry: 58.5%
%Distinction for H2 Physics: 45%
%Distinction for H2 Art: 100%
