Integrated Programme (IP)

O I C, so Temasek JC & Victoria JC can also expand their 4yr IP to 6yr IP ?

We don't know the criteria. Yes, I know in 2005, the IP programmes were considered \"closed\" - no more new ones. I remember that was just shortly after the top 3 Catholic Schools applied for their own IP programmes.

But well, now SJI has applied again for IP, and so has VJC. So maybe there's something we don't know. Also, NJC is garmen-school, so ....

Hmmm ... then what happen to the IP program by the 3 top Catholic schools ? Which 3 schools were that ?

Funny hor, if closed, how come SJI or VJC can still apply ?

When they say last one, could it be that they are referring to sec schools ? Maybe JC can ? Maybe that explains why NJC can start one in 2009 & someone said VJC is applying for 6yr IP ? What you think ?

Last year's O-levels Cath High & St Nics top the cohort. But I notice that since all the IP schools came up, the schools that have students topping the O-levels each year seem to change - not consistent. eg. one year, it's Cedar that is top, then the next year, it's SCGS, then last year was cath high & st nics.

That is because those schools formerly who were top are now IP and their students no longer do 'O' Level.....so there have to be some one who will occupy the top ranking anyway ...... no more tigers in the mountain, monkey can also be king

So, can we say that the top 4 O level schools (in random order) are:

1) SCCG
2) Cat High
3) St CHIJ St Nic
4) Cedar

Well, one thing to bear in mind is the curve. When RI and so on were in the rankings lists, the difference could be a significant one in terms of MSG and so on.


Now that the tail of the curve has been chopped off at the high end, the remaining schools are closer to the mean and thus less different. So you would expect their results every year to be closer together and the order to change more often.

A closer look at the results will show that the difference is insignificant anyway. In theory the difference could be down to a few kids who hadn't had enough coffee on the morning of an exam.
