Nothing earth shattering. Abolition of General acad domain should have been announced last year after the talks by those MPs


You should take note of this instead.

This 20% imposed :-
Is it referring to 20% of the entire Sec 1 cohort in the Secondary school, or refering to 20% of O level students ?

For those 6 or 7 O-level Affliated Secondary schools reported to be impacted, in the straits times article -
First, have to check how many Total number of O level classes they open for latest 2017 Secondary 1 cohort in their own school,
& the number of students head-count, inside each or per O level class.
Then minus off 20% reserved or set-aside for outsiders (non-Affliated) to come in, with the balance of 80% vacancies left, are they still enough to accommodate all the affliated students to come back, who managed to meet the Affliated COP?

If enough :
then no issue for Affliated primary school students, to go back O level Affliated Sec school.

The constraint is on the number of O level classes they open up, for Sec 1 cohort, and how many students per class ?

Article did not mention names of these 6 or 7 Sec schools, impacted.

You people think the moe did this without first consulting all affected parties and agree on a workable number?

besides SCGS, MGS @ 220 COP (for affliates) also same

plus ACS Barker, + PLMGS (@ 205 COP, for affliates), + Geylang Methodist, + a number of CHIJ schools (@ 200 COP, for affliates), + St Margaret, St Andrew, Maris Stella, etc

a lot of mission schools, are affected

It was written that the requirement of 20% reserved for non-affiliated students affects only 6-7 schools in Singapore as majority of the affiliated sec schools already takes in more than 20% of non-affiliates.

I also saw this liner somewhere but lost the link. I guess it's just to inform readers 'as of now, 6-7 affiliation schools will be affected by the 20% quota'. Not so sure about the part I underlined though.

Regardless of the status quo this year, this policy change will affect ALL affiliation schools effective 2019.[/quote]I interpret it this way. For schools like ACS (Baker Road) which takes in almost 100% of their affiliated students (regardless of their t-score), there will be an impact.

However, for schools like SCGS where the secondary school is already taking in more than 20% non-affiliated students, then there is no real impact. As to whether SCGS will raise their affiliated COP, that is another story.

some mission schools are rather unique : in that although they're from another schools, yet they happen to be affliated to the same SJI Secondary.

example

St Stephen primary & De La Selle primary

from the view point of SJI Secondary : definitely, hit more than 80%, because need to consider affliated students, coming from another two more additional schools (St Stephen + De La Selle), over & above consider his own affliated school cohort (from SJI Junior)

Newspaper report

20% places reserved for NON-Affliated pupils, in Affliated Secondary schools -
The new changes take effect from PSLE 2019 batch : means the pioneering batch is us, golden piggies, because
We fall under the 2019 PSLE batch.

St Nic can probably achieve the 20% with the IP alone…no worries!

Reported in ST that the number of SJI students from its affiliated schools make up close to 40% of the secondary school population.

Er, seems like the 20% is for the Sec 1, non-IP intake.

58.\tStarting from 2018, we will expand the number of DSA places so that all secondary schools can admit up to 20% of their Secondary 1, non-Integrated Programme intake via DSA. With this expansion, students can better access schools with suitable programmes via DSA, to nurture their strengths, talents and interests.

SJI sec affiliation COP is in range of 230 or 230+ (cant recall exact point) -consider not low range, that may explain that reason of lower percentage among direct feeder fr pri sch.

which are sec sch with no COP for their pri sch? ACS Barker, ST Patrick, St Hilda , St Marg , IJ families???
