Nebbermind:

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

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.

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.

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

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???

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.

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.[/quote]OK, I think so too, leeyl. IJ convents will be affected.

I think should refer to this

79.\tStarting from the 2019 Secondary 1 Posting Exercise, 20% of places for each course in every affiliated secondary school will be reserved for students who do not benefit from affiliation priority. - See more at: https://www.moe.gov.sg/news/speeches/moe-fy-2017-committee-of-supply-debate-speech-by-minister-of-education-schools-ng-chee-meng#sthash.sLiclyPt.dpuf

So meaning 20% for each IP, Express, NA stream in any one sch?

SJI takes in those from the Lasallian family so perhaps there'll be more?

I believe PLMGS has affiliation too.

Affiliation 20% or DSA 20%? :?

[Imp75]

now I am getting confused too…


my DD is the 2018 PSLE batch, not sure what kind of impact will she have?

Will start taking cue from this year DSA exercise. In fact I noticed RVHS already changed its DSA Acad criteria last year, some said RGS or RI also changed its DSA criteria since last year?

[quote]80.\tMost affiliated secondary schools today already admit more than 20% of non-affiliates. However, since this proportion varies up and down from year to year, we are setting aside 20% of places every year, in every affiliated secondary school, to strike a balance between recognising affiliation and ensuring open access for all students. - See more at: https://www.moe.gov.sg/news/speeches/moe-fy-2017-committee-of-supply-debate-speech-by-minister-of-education-schools-ng-chee-meng#sthash.sLiclyPt.6fVZk4YV.dpuf[/quote]Looks like at school level and not by programme.

Affiliation 20% or DSA 20%? :?[/quote]Oops. still not awake...I think jedamum pasted the correct para!

But I do agree with u that they have done their background checks with the affiliation schools, so 6-7 are the ones with COP 200 currently.

Nebbermind:

Affiliation 20% or DSA 20%? :?

Yes, I getting confused over 20%, because there are 2 new changes introduced, simultaneously.

One is referring to the new DSA change : no more generalists Academic dsa.

The 2nd new change is talking about opening up Affliated Secondary schools, to allow more outsiders vacancies (non-Affliated students) Allocated, for more diversity to take place.
