No. It was announced in the news.
The JC teachers said that it is too tiring to organize two
orientations. Also, those who didn't go for the first three months,
complained that they have problems catching up with the syallabus,
then their mid-year holidays kenna burned because they can't catch
up.
So MOE made it this way that JC course time is shorten from 2 full
years to 1 year and 9 months. The teachers can have a more time to
prepare the orientation and also more time to prepare course
materials.
Then this change also affected the poly intakes. But I'm not very
sure about poly intakes, so cannot comment much.
