* Eunoia JC (EJC)

[thsheng99]

I think EJC did very well. With a mean UAS of 82.x, taking into accounr its COP was 10 previously, it is really value-adding compared to the other JCs whose COP was single digit


With this good results and the fact that it is moving back to Bishan Park in a brand new midern campus, i think the COP for next year intake will rise tremedously

Plus when the new Bright Hill MRT station opens in 2020, COP will even go up further?

A director of a famous tuition centre which is quite popularly attended by hci/ri students shared that ejc has the most number of humanties scholars, even more than hci. I am not sure if this is one of the direction by moe to groom the students there.

I think there is some truth in it. I remember when EJC was set up, MOE was trying to break the stranglehold and dominance that RI/HCI has over the years. Both of which are independent and may be deemed elitist

Any coincidence that EJC is not independent?

I guess they kind of lost hope” in NJC and VJC who over decades has never been able to dent the dominance of the top 2?

Did you see my personal assumption in my parenthesis regarding this JC's lopsided demographic? You don't have to agree with me.

Is 25% small? I don't know what's the percentage of JAE students absorbed by other IPJCs. May I know if their 25% JAE entrants of Class 2017 were single-pointers?

Aren't the 75% full IP kids having around the same median T-scores as those absorbed by RV, NJ, DH, TJ? I have higher expectations for the latter 4, especially RV and DH with 100% IP, to perform better as they are more established and in situ for 6 years.

I suppose like you said the public will know if JCs are consistent as time goes by. No need to be too demanding on the pioneers, if you get what I mean. Manage your expectation and congratulate the newest kid on the block.

But schools like RV has no O level class. So they really have to work very hard to push everyone of them up. And someone else mentioned in other thread, the attrition rate for rv is very low. Very few or no students leave rv.

After shift back to the beautiful new Sin ming brand new campus, demand sure to shoot up, for EJC

Lost hope in NJC and VJC?
Why must MOE resort to getting NJC and VJC dominate HCI/RI?
So EJC will replace HCI/Ri sooner, you mean?

EJC value adding...you mean with 75% IP kids in this 2018 A level cohort ( its P6 intake that yr i think was COP 252-257 and higher) , you didnt expect this cohort to churn out Mean RP of 82.4 results regardless its pioneer batch or not.
From info shared, RP 82.4 is not better than some other JCs.

Which single digit JCs are you refering that they didnt produce the so called ' value adding' results and that EJC has more 'value added' results??

Dear Grandyma, did I say \"replace\"? Perhaps you should put on your prescription glasses and read properly before you reply. I said \"dent\" . According to the Online Dictionary, this is the definition of dent

dent (noun) : a slight hollow in a hard even surface made by a blow or pressure.

What I am saying is that MOE have been trying for decades to spread talent more equitably among the schools, for example the PSC scholarships...but these are still predominantly awarded to the students from the top 2 JCs. Having a JC that is non-independent and \"deemed non-elitist\" will certainly help in this aspect.

What \"domination\" are you talking about ?

Are you saying the rest of the IP JCs have no IP kids? Furthermore, there is still a substantial 25% that came in through JAE in EJC. Please look at the COP at 2017

Junior College\tArts\tScience / IB
Raffles Institution, RI\t4\t4
Hwa Chong Institution, HCI\t4\t4
Victoria Junior College, VJC\t7\t5
Anglo-Chinese School (Independent), ACSi\t–\t5
National Junior College, NJC\t7\t6
Nanyang Junior College, NYJC\t7\t6
Anglo-Chinese Junior College, ACJC\t8\t7
St. Joseph’s Institution, SJI\t–\t7
Eunoia Junior College, EJC\t9\t9

There are at least 8 schools with better COP than EJC. With a UAS of 82.4 is close to or similar to the likes of NJC and VJC ( who has COP of 5-7)

Furthermore, given that it is a pioneer year ( with no proven record) with presumably many teething problems and that it is operating from a temporary campus in remote Mt Sinai where transportation links are not that good, would you not think that they have been \"value-adding\"?

You are just being over-critical. I am glad that my grandma is more reasonable
