With 5 more new IP schs next yr, how will COP of IP schs be?
-
jtoh:
I also wondering if this info is useful.
Why is this information important?Zhuge:
I think MOE need to be more transparent. They should put in the Schools Selection booklet the following:
1. No of places in each school
2. No of IP places in each school
3. No of places given to DSA
4. No of places reserved for affiliated primary school students
etc
Even if one knows how many places is available, there's no way to find out how many students are vying for the same option, or how many of these students are ahead in term of T-score.
as for (4), from what I know, they go by COP (235/220 are quite common) and not by no. of seats -
Zhuge:
The 2012 cohort about 3000+ more compare to 2011, top 10% will increase 300+, consider new IP school about 600 places, IP COP should remain.I think, naturally, the COP of the present IP schools, starting from NYGH, RI...will drop. This is good as good students are better spread over a no of schools. In view of it being a dragon year, this drop in COP may not be much, perhaps 1 to 2 points.
Anyone has information on the no of students in this dragon year's cohort compared to last year's?
2000 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010
Primary 1 50,204 43,492 43,914 47,964 42,880 42,489 39,595

Primary 6 54,773 51,124 50,655 50,083 50,146 48,793 45,325 -
A little off topic.
For schools like SJI for eg…if my son makes the grade to study there, but not intending to take IP. It is still possible right ? There is still the 4 year O level route. This IP/IB thing is confusing, and my son is in P6 this year. So many fanciful stuff. -
From what i read at the MOE website, such schools will have two options, each having its own COP.

SJI and some of the other IP schools offer a dual route - O level as well as IP. If your son qualifies for IP but chooses to take O levels I think that should be possible too.A little off topic.

Just read yesterday that SJI JC is only taking in 80 students next year and that there's no preference given to existing SJI boys. -

A friend of mine told me SJI has opened more places to boys from other non-affiliated schools. Only the top classes from St Anthony, SJI junior and another affiliated pri get to enter SJI. IP is not applicable for all kids. Self-motivated ones can opt for it. Mine better take the O level.

So I don't think being in the top class of those primary schools is enough or is the only way to get into SJI. You might not be in the top class in primary school but can still do better than those in the class during PSLE.

Do you have data on the no of IP students the other IP schools are taking in?

* SJI’s affiliated primary schools are SJI Junior, St Anthony’s Primary School, De La Salle Primary School and St Stephen’s School. Currently about 40% of the boys in SJI are from the affiliated schools.
