ST reported 14/1/17 EJC has 440 IP and 210 JAE for pioneer batch.
2018 A level cohort was 529.

So about 129 retained in J1. Thats many!
The current P while in SRJC was well known to retain J1.

Read extracted ST news:
\"The school now has about 440 Joint Integrated Programme students from Catholic High School, CHIJ St Nicholas Girls' School and Singapore Chinese Girls' School. Three were offered places via the Direct School Admission Exercise. On Feb 3, they will be joined by 210 students coming in through the O levels.\"

129 out of 529 2017 EJC (1) batch students got retained, born in year 2000, that work out to be about ... 24.3 %, this is a high percentage !

majority of these 129 EJC (1) students who got retained, to repeat JC1 -

(1)
majority of these repeat students, come from IP or JAE (OP) stream ?
from DSA students, as well as from PSLE Tscore entry students, who sat for PSLE back then in Year 2012 ?

(2)
is there any common in particular H1 or H2 subject(s), that many of them had failed in ?
If Yes, what subject(s) are these ?

first step, need to find out, which are the common subject(s) majority of them failed in ?
(129 out of 529 2017 EJC (1) students)

is it compulsory H2 Maths or General paper or which Humanities subject or compulsory H2 Chemistry (for Science stream students) ?

if there is (are) certain subjects that majority of them commonly failed in, then HOD and his (her) team of teaching staff from that particular academic department need to work harder, find out what's wrong, roll up their sleeves, solve (fix) the problem

another question to find out is,
why did Principal of EJC retain them, instead of auto-push them into JC2 ?
is it because if auto-push them up to JC2, school forsee that they will only struggle even more, end up do badly in A-level, hence no choice but retain them (repeat) ?

Indeed if its true 129 retained, its worrying.
Why cant give 2nd chance to these kids?
Ejc teachers cant help to these weaker kids?
P not compassionate.
Maybe school thinks Ejc IP kids inside can self study so dont teach enough?

think many of us here would like to know,
if a JC1 or JC2 pupil struggling, what kind of help is available from the Teachers on-hand, from within (inside) EJC itself ? Do they render help to struggling students, or do they ask students to go outside look for external tuition outside to self-help ?


also, those core, key important H2 subjects like H2 (Mathematics, Chemistry, Physics) -
are the Teachers fresh graduates from MOE, or come with experience ?
Which other JCs have they taught before coming into EJC to teach ?
How many years of teaching experience have they actually taught in the same core subject, before stepping into EJC ?

EJC having a COP of 9 for both Science and Arts is worser than ACJC's 7 for Science and 8 for Arts, I doubt that the pioneer batch of EJC will do any better than that. Still, I must put my stand that RVHS is better than EJC and this is just my 2 cents opinion. It's difficult to compare as I reiterate again.

Sometimes, retain may be better for students if their foundations are not strong - J2 will be difficult & intense as its A level year. Teachers should be a fair mix with experiences - moreover Ejc is IP sch, i m confident MOE send well mixed pool of educators there.
not sure whether 1) is it due to 3 feeder sch, 3 diff standards pouring in ejc ?
2) IP subject content vs O level - which grp has been prep with better exam /A level foundations - how is the disparity in standards? - all these can be factors to impact on teachings by teachers ..
It is indeed a \"worry\" factor if the retain % is high :?

[doodbug]

one fifth of cohort being retained is no joke. Maybe we need to check with EJC on the numbers.

Anyway still a long way to go for me - I don’t even know if my kid can make it to EJC - living year by year.

Back then while in SRJC, J1 retained rate was high.
Now Ejc J1 retained % seems high too.
Easier to teach promoted J2 kids perhaps, to produce not too bad 2018 A results but not impressive.
Ejc- a school which places impt on results but neglects on human factors.
