COP 2012 - For Secondary Schools in 2013

[nav14]

finder:

Assuming TOP 10% of 48500 students are above 250, with 4000 IP, it would mean 800+ students would need to go for O level program, this will push up top O level schools cut off point quite a fair bit.

That is based on the assumption on the number of places for O level in the good schools remain the same. As far as i know MOE controls and decides on the number of classes/students for Sec 1 in schools (Independent could be excluded?) and I am very sure some of the schools will have no choice but to increase their intake to accomodate the bumper crop of dragon year babies.

They seemed to have gone down since I took my PSLE in 2008… Dunman had a COP of 260 my year, now it’s 257. Hwa Chong was 26something now it’s also 257.

Hi VC’s mum,


If you have the COP of all the above schools (RVHS, RI, NYGH, RGS, NJC) from 2004. Can you also list them down like what you have done for HCI and DHS?

Thanks in advance.

I have been thinking though that it is about time the quantum for the EESIS be raised. It has been $200 for years now. But the fees of the IS have all been raised and many are at $300. Anyone going to start a petition?

I fully agreed with you! EESIS is designed to encourage top students to opt for independent schools, MOE or the government should not just walk away when parents of these students are subsequently caught in rising school fees as a result of getting their children to follow the path laid down by the government! Apart from high monthly school fee, there is annual miscellaneous fee of several hundred dollars which parents have to pay! It is killing the middle class parents who are not rich,
and not poor enough to be eligible for financial assistance!

Hence why I'd rather my DD not go to an IS. I simply cannot afford it. My DD chose a govt IP school. I'd spoken to the teacher there and she said \"our school has many students from the lower income group\". I'm hoping the school will not expect parents to be able to afford expensive trips and other misc costs.

Although most IS schools have better facilities, we find it hard to justify paying a fee that is higher than, say, VS or DHS. Also, the clause in the tenure \"The scholar must make good progress each year in order to continue receiving the scholarship\" did not go down well for us.

Hi, do any one know if you are eligible for EESIS then are you eligible for ESPS - Edusave Scholarships for Primary Schools ?

If only 1 award available, then what about those who are eligible for EESIS but they didnot choose IS school, this group will entitled nothing ?

You mean ESSS - edusave scholarships for secondary schools?

From MOE site:
The Edusave Scholarships for Secondary Schools (ESSS) are awarded on a yearly basis to the top 10% pupils who are Singapore Citizens by level and stream in all government and government-aided secondary schools (excluding the IS) based on the pupils’ school examination results for the year. These scholarships are to encourage pupils to excel in their studies and reward their efforts. The schools will select pupils for these yearly awards at the end of the school year. The value of these scholarships is $500.
