7 New IP schools

This is because if students whom are faring badly enter IP, they would most likely fail the \"A\" levels and be unemplyed for most times in this highly competitive world. Their highest education would be the PSLE as they will not have the \"O\" levels to \"back them up\".

If an IP student has been doing fine in the course and for some reason, eg gfbf issues, do badly in the 'A' level, they should be given a second chance to stay in the same school to re-do 'A' level.

Maybe they should consider the option but wont it seem unfair to others? If a student usually does well, all A1s, the worst he can do is maybe all C5s. The government would not let people retain because of this as you still pass. Those wh maybe have an average of F9 should have the chance to retain but there will be just this feeling of unfairness in the hearts of the other pupils

I remember for CHS & SNGS & SJI, one of the original proposal they had for IP submitted to MOE just before the IP applications closed some years ago, was for students of these 3 schools to eg. continue to year 5 or 6 in CHS or SJI. That's a little like the NYGH model. Even RGS goes to RI for year 5 or 6 now at a totally different location.

I thought NYGH does not have its own Year 5 and 6?

Yes, NYGH goes on to HCI across the road. RGS as well, no year 5 & 6.

[quote=\"jtoh\"]I see the new 7 IPs as more like 2nd tier IP schools. So if there's any dilution in COP for IP schools, they're more likely for the less popular existing IP schools.

So ACS(I) is a 2nd-tier IP school in your eyes?

I'd say RI/RGS and HCI/NYGH are head and shoulders above the rest. ACS(I) is working very hard to join the ranks but is still not up there with them, in my opinion.[/quote]OK, yes - but GEP students still apply to ACS(I), altho' it might mostly be their own ACS boys?

But if from that affiliated pri school, i'd also prefer my child to go on to that sec school if the IP option is available.

[quote=\"jtoh\"]Straits Times says likely schools include Cedar Girls and Victoria School. SJI also likely.

Quote from The Straits Times dated Monday, August 30 2010 Page A3:

\"The Strait Times understands that Cedar Girls' Secondary School and Victoria School are among the schools that the IP will be extended to. St Joseph's Institution had also earlier submitted a proposal to offer the IP.\"

My guess for the 7 more schools to offer IP on dual tracks:
1. http://www.catholichigh.moe.edu.sg/-http://www.cjc.edu.sg/web/
2. http://www.cedargirlssec.moe.edu.sg/-http://www.vjc.moe.edu.sg/website/
3. http://www.chijstnicholasgirls.moe.edu.sg/default.aspx-http://www.cjc.edu.sg/web/
4. http://www.mgs.sch.edu.sg/-http://www.acjc.edu.sg/
5. http://www.scgs.edu.sg/-Not sure
6. http://www.sji.edu.sg/-http://www.cjc.edu.sg/web/
7. http://vs.moe.edu.sg/-http://www.vjc.moe.edu.sg/website/

Thanks.

Good guesses. I know VJC has been courting several girls schools for IP for some time. So it'll be interesting to see who they finally hook up with.[/quote]

That was what I meant. If the school don't get their IP, they will slowly lose their last few top students. For example the case for ACSI, ia mnot sure how many of their GEP students they will retain if they do not get IP. The same goes to SNG, SCGS etc...
