  4. Must be a major blow to some of the 95 kids who thought they had make it. Basically from euphoria to despair If only this mistake could be the other way round, that they actually made it instead of couldn't... From CNA: http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/sin...1243599/1/.html 95 students wrongly informed about eligibility for polytechnic programme By TODAY | Posted: 19 December 2012 2028 hrs SINGAPORE - A "system error" resulted in 95 students who were not eligible for the Polytechnic Foundation Programme (PFP) being issued eligibility forms, said the Ministry of Education (MOE) on Wednesday. "On 17 December 2012, after the release of the GCE 'N' Level results, a system error was discovered, which had resulted in 271 students being issued eligibility forms for PFP with wrongly-computed ELMAB3 aggregate scores stated on these forms," said the MOE in a statement. The system double-counted grades for subjects that the student had sat for at the actual 'N' Level and 'O' Level Preliminary examinations, although each subject should only be counted once, with the better of the two grades being used. The PFP is a one-year programme that offers a practice-oriented curriculum to better prepare Normal (Academic) students for entry into the relevant Polytechnic Diploma courses. The MOE said it took "immediate steps" to address the situation. On Tuesday, it started calling each of the 271 affected students to inform them of the error. As of 5.45pm Wednesday, 256 students had been successfully contacted and 15 were unreachable. "MOE regrets the inconvenience caused by this error. We understand the disappointment of the affected students who were given application details for the PFP but are actually not eligible, as well as their parents' disappointment," said the ministry. All 95 affected students who are not eligible for the PFP may progress on to Secondary Five, or apply for the Direct Entry Scheme to Polytechnics (DPP) if they meet the DPP eligibility criteria, said the MOE. - TODAY/ir

  7. http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/sin...1157020/1/.html SINGAPORE: Some students from the National University of Singapore were shocked when their economics examination was cancelled on Saturday due to a lack of test papers. More than 700 first-year students were supposed to take the exam when they were informed of the change. The university said it had not printed enough papers for the examination. The 30 per cent weightage of the mid-term paper will now be shifted to other assignments. An official apology was finally sent out to all affected students. An NUS student, who only wanted to be known as Mr Tan, said: "I feel very frustrated and annoyed because I studied so hard for it and it got cancelled at the last minute." "I'm also annoyed at how they called us down on a Saturday and did not send (us) the information in a professional manner... I shouldn't be hearing this kind of thing from a friend," he added.
  8. was raining and dark this morning. sent my nephew to school and there is a zebra crosiing right outside the school gates. i was the second car, i saw 2 students crossing the zebra crossing with their hands out, "stop" hand sign. i presume the first car did not see them and had no intention to slow down, from my point of view the funny thing is, i can tell the students were aware of it and they bo chay and keeping crossing. at the last min, the first car hard braked to avoid knocking down the students! i am just wondering, since the students already saw the non stopping car, y are they still crossing?! Do they think, since they are on the zebra crossing, they are the king? Yes, we should give way to pedestrian at zebra crossing but there are times when u will find kuku drivers who are no alert enough to spot them... i just wonder how do schools teach their students to cross the street... or is it the students sai lan???
  9. Nowadays SG kids study too much online porn but no social skills to pick up girls ? Poly student molested 4 fellow students A POLYTECHNIC student was sentenced to six months' jail and fined $600 on Monday for outrage of modesty and other offences. Jee Guang You, 24, was studying at Nanyang Polytechnic when he molested four victims at the library of the Ang Mo Kio Avenue 8 premises last November. He admitted to five of nine charges - two each of outrage of modesty and insulting modesty, and one of theft of undergarments. A Community Court heard that Jee was found to be suffering from paraphilia and fetishism by an Institute of Mental Health doctor. His lawyer Steven Lam said his client's family would make sure that he received proper treatment and monitor him closely. He said Jee, a former N-level and ITE student, got into the polytechnic through sheer hard work. The court backdated Jee's sentence to Dec 3 last year, which means he was released from prison on Monday. He could have been jailed for up to two years, fined, caned or received any of the combination. The maximum for insulting modesty is one year and a fine; and for theft, three years and a fine.

  13. Optimism at career fair by S Ramesh 05:55 AM Jan 28, 2011 SINGAPORE - More job options and possibly higher starting salaries. That's the upbeat mood among those who attended the annual National University of Singapore (NUS) Career Fair yesterday. There was a buzz as undergraduates made their way through the fair, with a record 145 employers from diverse sectors taking part, offering some 4,200 positions. One of the fair's biggest participants is the public service, with nearly every ministry and statutory board having a booth to explain employment opportunities to graduates. The NUS graduate employment survey is expected in April, but there is already an upbeat sense on starting salaries. Professor Tan Eng Chye, NUS Deputy President (Academic), said: "For graduates, you are talking about a salary range from $2,500 to $3,500, depending on the professions. But sentiments are very positive." Graduate Alex Liu, said: "All of us are pretty optimistic." A Japan Pavilion is also part of the fair for the first time. Ten Japanese chemical companies with operations here are showcasing the sector, offering 80 jobs. To give its undergraduates a leg up, NUS is working with the Singapore Human Resource Institute (SHRI) to provide them employment and internship opportunities. SHRI executive director David Ang said: "We can be more focused when guiding the graduates on the kinds of jobs they want. At the same time, we also inform the career centre about the needs of employers." Some 7,000 students are expected to benefit from the fair over the next two days.

  16. STUDENTS, staff and visitors to the Singapore Institute of Management (SIM) will soon have to pay to park at the university. From Nov 15, SIM will charge drivers $1 an hour when they park at its two carparks - one at the basement of the main building and the other at the basement of an extension building. Motorcyclists will also have to pay 50 cents per entry. The charges at SIM apply from 7am to 11pm for Mondays to Fridays, and 7am to 6pm for Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays. The move has upset some students, who say that the charges are too high. They put up a petition on Facebook in late October after learning of the carpark charges on the students' online portal. The petition has garnered more than 400 names. It's the first time in 46 years that the university has imposed parking fees for carpark lots. Other universities also charge for parking. $3 cap The petition, which was sent to the school's administration on Nov 2, called for the university to impose the parking charges for visitors, but to allow season parking for students and to impose a daily cap of $3 for students who do not opt for season parking. The petition also suggested that there should be free parking for motorcyclists and free parking after 6.30pm. Attempts by The New Paper to contact those who had started the petition were unsuccessful. A spokesman for SIM confirmed that the petition and a list of 444 names were e-mailed to SIM's office on Tuesday. Mr Alex Sim, in his 20s, is among those who signed the petition. The first-year economics and finance student told The New Paper that he often spends over 30 hours a week in school, so he could end up forking out about $120 monthly on parking fees alone. Why doesn't he switch to public transport? Alex, who lives in Tampines and drives a two-litre Tucson to school, said that public commutes would triple his travel time. Miss Ong Huiqi, 21, a banking and finance student, who lives in Kembangan, called the upcoming parking charges are "crazy as students don't have a salary". Banking and finance student Ryan Chang, 22, is unhappy over the fees for motorcyclists. Mr Chang, who rides a motorbike to school, said: "There are ample lots. There is no reason at all to charge motorcyclists." An SIM spokesman told The New Paper that the school has about 500 lots for cars and about 100 lots for motorcycles. These cater to a student population of 30,500 and staff size of more than 600. The spokesman added that in deciding the carpark rates, the university has considered what other institutions were charging, and factored in its space crunch. She added: "The hourly charge, while reasonable, has to have the necessary deterrent effect (on private transport) and encourage more students to take public transport." On season parking or a daily cap, she said: "Unless the charges are high enough to deter sufficient students from driving, the charging system will not help address the shortage of parking spaces." She also pointed out that unlike other tertiary institutions, SIM has a huge part-time student population. "We have classes scheduled throughout the day, even into the night and over the weekends for part-time students. "Hence, the park-and-pay system has to apply throughout the day."

  19. FOR 50 years, the PAP has stayed in power because it has delivered progress to the people, its leaders often point out. But Law Minister K. Shanmugam feels younger voters can erode its dominant position should the party fail to convince them that Singapore, more than most countries, needs a strong leadership and a political system that allows for effective and speedy decisions to be made. He gave this warning to his party members in an editorial in the latest People's Action Party bi-monthly magazine, Petir. Mr Shanmugam appears to have his eye on the clock when he issued his word of caution, saying no political party had stayed in power continuously for more than 70 years. The way for the PAP to outlive this record, he feels, is to provide greater political education for Singaporeans, in particular, students. However, he said: 'The education should not trumpet the virtues of any particular system.' Seems like PAP is scared..
  20. Are teachers and students overloaded? By Santokh Singh CONGRATULATIONS to all the schools listed in the Ministry of Education's annual roll of honour this year. They include those who made the rankings and banding list and those who won the numerous awards for best practices in the various categories. Others were recognised for holistic character development of their pupils and for outstanding national education programmes. While we celebrate these achievements, it may be timely to step back and look at how we achieved them. There is talk that some schools may have gone beyond basic educational principles to achieve these awards. There are some questions that schools should ask themselves. Did they overload their students with more work than necessary to make the list? Are their teachers and students subjected to more than one timetable in a day? After the official workday from 7.30am to about 1pm, some schools have two more unofficial ones for the afternoon and night. Yes, as The New Paper found out on our walkabouts, some schools have the graduating classes and their teachers stay in school from 7.30am to 9pm. Next, the schools have to ask themselves if they have over-tested their students to the point that they burn out and lose interest in their studies. Some schools have mock exams before the preliminary examinations, others have two prelims followed by more tests before the national examinations. For them, testing goes on year-round, almost on a weekly basis. The New Paper found out that some schools also conducted either mock examinations or preliminaries during the recent school term break. Some parents may be thankful to these schools for 'baby-sitting' their children while they are at work or enjoying an evening out. But let's not assume that all parents are happy to abdicate their roles as care-givers. Don't forget, too, that teachers, some of whom are parents themselves, have their own lives to lead. They spend hours on end preparing for lessons, setting class work, tests and examination papers and then marking these assignments to help their schools win these awards. They also supervise co-curricular activities and fill in forms for the School Excellence Models which are used as a basis for these awards. Let's hope that they, too, do not burn out in this pursuit of awards. This article was first published in The New Paper.
  21. http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/sin.../426861/1/.html Abstract from the above link, For the National University of Singapore (NUS), all overseas school trips have been put on hold till May 15. Every year, more than 1,200 students from NUS are sent overseas for attachments. NUS Deputy President (Academic Affairs) and Provost, Tan Eng Chye, said: "Just last Saturday, one of my colleagues met up with some parents and students who were appealing to go to the United States for a Formula One car competition. "It's interesting, I think, the parents actually wanted the school to guarantee the safety of the students, which I think we can't. In the end, we explained to the parents and students that we can't let them go." I can't believe these parents actually ask NUS to guarantee the safety of the students should they go US to participate F1 car competition. Are they trying to act smart by pushing the responsibilties and liabilites to NUS so that if something happens they can launch a lawsuit or are they just plain stupid or naive??? Why those NUS staff never rebute back to the parents, can the parents guarantee their children grow up to be a useful ppl in the society or a pest in the society.
  22. http://newpaper.asia1.com.sg/news/story/0,...,191705,00.html? School bars students from mall - but is ban working? Some teens moved to defy rule; parents upset as well February 04, 2009 HE LOOKS around carefully, his legs tensed and ready to run. STRICT: A Coral Secondary teacher talking to a student at a HDB void deck near the school, which banned students from loitering anywhere after school while in uniform. TNP PICTURE: JULIAN LEE The coast seems clear, and his friends nod their confirmation. He dashes into McDonald's, and emerges 10 minutes later, clutching takeaway bags in triumph. His friends cheer, and they move off swiftly, not looking back. The boy has just committed an offence. But it's not against the fast-food outlet - it's against his school. Coral Secondary School forbids any student in uniform from entering the nearby White Sands shopping mall in Pasir Ris, among other things. The rule, which was imposed several years ago, also forbids students in uniform from hanging out at the neighbouring housing estate. WHY NOT LET THEM BE? Not all schools are as strict - our photographer visited Bishan Junction 8 yesterday and saw many students in uniform wandering around the shopping centre freely and without fear. TNP PICTURE: KELVIN CHNG The boy told The New Paper: 'I'm not supposed to go to White Sands at all, unless I want to go to the library after school. 'Even then, I can go only after I fill in a form and get it approved by the Discipline Mistress or Operations Manager.' And then he pointed to the school handbook, which has an extract from the school's rule book. It states that the school has banned its students in uniform from loitering anywhere after school. It expects the students to go home straight from school. Only library okay It wants them to 'stay away from White Sands Shopping Mall at all times except to visit the community library after school after seeking approval from HOD/Student Management, Operations Manager, Vice-Principal or Principal'. When asked to comment on the rule, principal Veronica Ng responded through Madam Kathleen Ch'ng, the head of the department of student management: 'Coral Secondary places much emphasis on inculcating in our students good habits like using time prudently. 'As such, it is in their interest not to loiter in the malls after school.' But many students are not too pleased about this. Said one Sec 3 student: 'It's crazy. Some of us don't have lunch at home. We have to eat outside, but we're not allowed to eat at White Sands. 'We're not even allowed to just go in there to buy food to take home with us.' A Sec 2 student said that even her teacher did not see the logic behind such a rule. Her classmate added: 'Other students get to hang out here after school. Why can't we?' The school is so serious about the rule that it assigns teachers to patrol the shopping mall and neighbouring areas after school. Offenders are sent for a two-hour detention. And sometimes even the innocent get caught. Said a Sec 2 student: 'One of my friends, who waits for her mother near the shopping mall after school every day, almost got a detention. 'She was saved by a bunch of classmates who explained to the operations manager.' Some parents are also upset by this rule. Said the mother of a Sec 2 student: 'I was told that my daughter had to go home and change out of her uniform before she can buy lunch at White Sands. 'So instead of buying lunch and going home, she has to go home to change, then go out to buy lunch and go home again.' Family lunch impossible A father was particularly riled that he couldn't even have lunch with his daughter in peace. 'It's just stupid. The teachers don't seem to care that students may be with their parents. So I have to keep watching out for teachers, or my daughter may get caught.' But many students are resigned to the strict regulation. As another Sec 2 student put it: 'My mother tells me to just be careful and don't get caught.' One parent, whose son left the school three years ago, said: 'No choice lah, just tolerate for four years and be done with it.' Said a Sec 4 student: 'I don't really care any more. If I get caught again, I'll just go for detention again. It's no big deal.' Teachers are also posted to the housing estate near the school to prevent students from loitering there. A Sec 2 pupil said: 'After school hours, we can't go to the mini-mart in the HDB estate and it's just across the road.' It is understood that even students who simply walk through the estate can accosted by a patrolling teacher. This reporter saw a teacher stop a group of students there last Friday. According to a parent, the strict rules were imposed following complaints from residents in the area. Said the same parent: 'If noise is such a problem, then remove the playground. It's always noisier than the students. 'In any case, teachers aren't supposed to be security guards. I don't think MOE pays them to guard void decks.' But not everyone opposes the strict rules. One Sec 2 student said: 'I agree with the school, that loitering can lead to trouble.' One parent admitted: 'Ultimately, parents and teachers are both concerned for the pupils. I may not like the ban, but it shows that the school's making an effort for its students.'
