IP failures...has MOE been transparent?

phtthp:
RI does not offer O Leveli din realize RI also offer O level, thought only IP track. or did i interpret wrongly ?
how about HCI - also has O level track, besides IP ?
HCI has no O level track.
the number of students doing O level at HCI is just a handful sometime due to family reason whatever and the school let them do O level and if good enough, switch back to IP with the rest
I was told by the principal there is no \"guarantee\" every year there will be students doing O level
to say that HCI has O level track is incorrect. It is not the same as ACSI -

obsessed with speculating numbers :evil: :evil:MummyThreeStreams:
I'm not that familiar with the issues, but is the figure that critical? Coz I think a good number of the IP students who get a place in the JC by virtue of the IP track would've made it into those JCs anyway right? So the actual number of places now available for O level students is not really relevant. What is really of interest is the number places going to those who might not have made it to the JCs without the IP. But these figures will be speculative.
Think alot of S'poreans r just obsessed with numbers!

whether enter uni via JC ‘A’ level or via poly - both routes are tough, due to intense competition everywhere.

There are not many students from top JCs in the local uni, maybe other than medicine, dentistry and Law. Many should be having scholarships in overseas uni. Many students in the uni are from TJ, VJ, AJ, ACJC, etc.

Don't merely guess. Most RI/HCI students do head for local unis. Some simply are not keen to sign bond.
Other than the most popular courses, other competitive courses include: ddps, aerospace, chemical, renassance engineering, n pharmacy.
However, u are obsolutely correct that those jcs u mentioned hve high proportion of students studying in the local unis. -

This is not mere guessing but a personal observation in one of the schools in a local uni. That school attracts top students and has cut off of AAA at 90th percentile. But i am sorry that I have no stats to cite. Hope the uni or MOE can release more stats.alng:

I heard that many students in the NUS Law school are from RI such that there are two groups of students there - the Rafflesians and non-Rafflesians. -

RI’s domination in law faculty is mainly found in BT’s campus, NUS, but not the newer one, SMU law school. Anw, the annual intake is approx 235 and 125 respectively. The latter has a students’ population which is far more diversify comprising students from many jcs.
The selection criteria is based on 50% A-level results and 50% essay test n an interview. RI traditionally dominates GP, with distinction rate around 50% far above national of 20.3%. As the course requires min grade of B for gp, which explains why RI is so dominant in NUS law faculty.
SMU has a different appproach in selection though the selection criteria including gp requirement are similar to NUS. Hence, the diversity. -

why do our top govt scholars chose foreign unis?
Maybe they think HYMPS and Oxbridge are more superior in various aspect including international name recognition. Our local unis with the exception of law and medicine are merely top farmers’ unis notwithstanding our strict academic entrance requirement. Anw, for medicine n law we do hve PSC scholars including a President scholar reading locally.
Another reason, since need to sign bond might as well choose the more expensive path and along the way also can experience other peoples’ culture and enjoy personal independence. Such attraction, hard to resist, that’s what my ds always say.
Just my opinion.
