Most of the top junior colleges have affiliated secondary schools. With the implementation of the 6 years course is it getting more difficult for students from neighbourhood school to enrol in them and get a place in local univercity ? Confused

BaByBoY SG

Personaly i feel there`s nothing wrong w it..

perhaps maybe they can get away w the affilation advatage to entry in JC?
tt`ll be fair enough for most students

paperchicken SG

but under current system if student from affiliated school dun work hard and do badly for the "O"- levels the place will be taken by students from neighbourhood schools who have performed better. Neutral

BaByBoY SG

yup
tt`s correct!
but i don really see a prob w tt??
if u study hard.. u`ll be enroled into it
unless u tell me u got 6 A1s in `o`lvls and good ECA record and cant get into top 5 JCs...

will tt be possible at all????

FireIce SG

pikamaster SG

It might possibly be so, since the quota for "external students" would probably be lowered.

the.raven SG

what do you think when RJC students deride neighbourhood school students openly while showing their ignorance of things that are really happening in singapore?

pikamaster SG

as a matter of fact, I think it comes from the Principal, this ang-moh guy who seems to have it stuck in his head that RJC is the world's best school.

take it from me, I'm a Rafflesian who is not-so-proud of my school.

Top school students may not necessarily do well. I know of some students from RI, RGS who don’t do well in their “O’ compared to kids from neighbourhood/ average schs.

the.raven SG

haha I got 8 A1s I pwn u.

the.raven SG

LOL why? cuz u sux?

paperchicken SG

Under the new system they may proceed to JC without taking "O"-level. This results in less places for good students from neighbourhood schools. Confused

the.raven SG

then too bad, who ask them PSLE never do well. PSLE is a joke compared to O levels.

fymk SG

Real world ......it's about money qualification. Got academic ? bonus but not essential ! Even hawker without education can be millionaire and drive mercedes... so what so special about RJC students?

the Bear SG

let's just say one only need look at the.raven's posts to see that he is actually inadvertantly arguing for the proposition of the subject by his attitude...
