Still remember Tan Kim Seng? He's my \"favourite\" teacher...

I assume it's \"favourite\" but not really \"favourite\"

It seems like anderson jc bore the brunt of the merger as she was a convenient choice. SRJC is nowhere near AJC. As a compensation, AJC should be allowed to retain her name. Looking at the names floating around Internet, I would imagine AJC to be the most miserable one.

Agree. SRJC is nearest to NYJC while its current COP is closest to CJC.
But I doubt any decision published is reversible.

But isn't that the result of the streaming process?
There are more top students going to JC so naturally more will end up getting a place in local unis.
Same for top kids choosing a certain R school => more will get into med school n law

Yup. That's true too.

Actually I think the COP for most JCs will fall next year with the top JCs having to expand their cohort intake. Viewing it more positively, it will be easier to get into Ri/HCI than previously

Again, it supports and pleases the elitists.

Don't see it as being elitist. Poly grads can still rejoin the uni pathway. This alternative is actually better for certain groups of kids who find it tough to pass GP and/or MT. 勉强读A水准是没有幸福的！

Frankly, I would rather the job market be flooded by many local u grad than with FT grads with degrees from dubious universities in India

As the universities are more and more open to poly grads entering university, it might be better for some students to take the poly route. If during poly they decide uni is not right for them, they graduate with a diploma. If they decide to go on to uni, depending on the course, they can skip year one uni. So in effect, they don’t lose out in terms of time spent compared to students taking A levels. It’s not necessarily a longer route. The hands-on and project-based modules work better for some students. I have friends whose kids decided to go the poly route over JC. They enjoyed the course and are now applying for the local universities. No regrets at all.

Still donch understand why so many liken poly to 2nd class citizen.
Anyway, for those cases quoted somewhere, eg,N level eventually going to do phd, or 19-pointers getting 2nd upper etc, I'm sure if they had end up in poly, they will probably do well too, ie, topping the poly cohort and getting a place in unis too....just probably...I donch know for sure....but certainly Poly is not a deadend route.

Foreign manpower has been cut. Think they are desperately trying to fill those S pass vacancies. Of course some Indian banking professionals are still around.

Supply > Demand
Believe me, with Trump in power, u dun want that! He is reviewing some FTAs now and trying to woo MNCs back to US to create jobs for Americans First. I think we need to manage our supply carefully in the coming years.

Who wants their kid to be unemployed and underemployed? Moreover, if there are too many uni fresh grads, who bears the brunt? Your middle aged hubby or wife lor, cos the excess supply of youngsters are cheaper to hire!

If one doesn't mind the poly path, one can consider joining the public service after graduating from poly. Starting salaries are the same as fresh grads...

All roads lead to Rome.


Some longer, some shorter. I never understand why people insist that there is only one correct path.
