Yewheng Twincharged April 20, 2017 Share April 20, 2017 Lol! Mothership just pichar lobang. http://mothership.sg/2017/04/7-of-the-8-jcs-involved-in-the-merger-had-7-of-the-8-worst-cutoff-points-in-2016/ Not picia lobang la, its demand and supply thing la. Based on that article, it is saying those schools that are offering IP are not affected. Fair what, as those that offered IP will most likely have higher intake. So these will not shut down what as demand is still there. What would you do if you are the MOE head then? Not look at demand and supply meh? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DACH Supersonic April 20, 2017 Share April 20, 2017 anyhow build and now regret next is uni? now we have 5 or 6 uni right? nus, ntu, smu, unisim, sutd, anymore? reason is always low birth rate ... so? cut and merge? It's a change of demographics. Just read the papers this morning. While they are closing some schools, they are opening new ones. This change is something like in the 70s and 80s, Kampung schools close down, merged and move elsewhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kopites Supersonic April 21, 2017 Share April 21, 2017 (edited) What if the day becomes when JC studies combined into secondary school studies, adding another sec 5 to obtain O levels? No more JCs then. Actually closing primary schools is nothing new. Last time in the 70s and 80s, many primary schools, especially those kampung ones, either closed down or merged. It's the change of demographics. No all old kampong lah. I studied bukit ho swee pri..Closed down no more in existence. I studied Kim seng tech sec school also closed down no more in existence. Hahaha wherever I go they sure closed down. Aw q Edited April 21, 2017 by Kopites Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So my previous assumption that was a combination of more choosing poly and low birth date was wrong. Haha. Edited April 22, 2017 by Yewheng 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DACH Supersonic April 23, 2017 Share April 23, 2017 https://www.reach.gov.sg/participate/discussion-forum/2017/04/22/moe-jc-mergers-not-due-to-more-choosing-polys OK, the official answer is out, so there are nothing to do with poly intake and purely due to low birth rate. So my previous assumption that was a combination of more choosing poly and low birth date was wrong. Haha. Another factor that is not stated is that they have been opening too many schools for the past decade. And looking at the trend of the closure of schools, they are mainly in mature estates, which means change of demographics have changes the intake of these mature estates as more people are moving to newer estates. It is more of balanced distribution of the students over wider geographical areas. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
