Lost hope in NJC and VJC?
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 elitistsnowyqueen\" post_id=\"1900120\" time=\"1551246360\" user_id=\"1510:
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.
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?
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.
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?
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
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?
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

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 -

Hi Grandyma
I think it's more important how your granddaughter did, rather than how other people's grandchildren or children did, isn't it?
I can totally understand why PSLE parents are checking out JCs' Mean UAS, subject combi as they're shopping for DSA-sec schools. I can also understand why parents of upper secondary school children are concerned about JC subject performances as they're going to pick combis or have already picked their combi and so are keen to suss out the standard of the seniors and respective depts' performance vz the national standard for planning purposes.
But for you whose granddaughter who was from Class of 2017, what is your main objective for doing this?
How did your granddaughter or daughter fare last year? Is she is one of the 1 in 7, or 1 in 5, as announced by her Principal? Is she happy with her results?
I put it to you that you're just feeling insecure, concerned that your granddaughter or daughter's A level cert value will drop if her JC is one day out-ranked or outperformed by another nearby JC.
Please rest assured, Ah Ma, that GCE Cambridge's As, Bs or Cs will not devalue even if your Singapore JC's Mean UAS drop or rise in the future. What's important is that your granddaughter or daughter gets into her desired university and gets a good job. Also, PSC, local unis look at her UAS, not which famous JC she comes from. Likewise, employers don't care about JC UAS or ranking. A humble person from a mid-tier JC with As/ Bs may sometimes get the job instead of another haughty person from a top-tier JC with straight As all his life.
So, please stop worrying about your granddaughter's JC potentially being eclipsed by other JCs in the unknown future. It's all based on free market forces. Some teens like newer campuses, others like later starting hour and 5-day PE attire. So respect their choices. Life is too short to worry about other minuscule statistics when one's offspring has already graduated. Too much sodium is no good for the elderly. -

Yr EJC Thsheng99 said EJC is more value added than other single digit JCs mah....isnt this comparing of JCs?
I curious which JCs mah
I have EJC all subjects % A performance.
Yes, EJC has done well...i support hor...but not what you EJCian parents say \" very good\".
With 75% cohort from 3 gd IP Sec Sch, it should work more on it Sciences.
Other than ACJC, TJC,
NJC Medium 84.4 is better than EJC too.
EJC results didnt do better than the rest of the top tier JCs lei... -
