Masterplan of Awards 

8.           The Ministry of Education's (MOE) Masterplan of Awards was instituted in late 1998 to recognise schools' success in the delivery of holistic education. This system of awards is part of the implementation of the School Excellence Model (SEM), which is a framework for school appraisal that emphasises a holistic approach to education with equal focus on processes as well as results. 

9.           SAAs give recognition to schools that have performed well consistently over a period of years, in academic and non-academic areas. There are 5 categories of SAA, namely: 

  1. Arts 

  2. Sports 

  3. Uniformed Group 

  4. Academic Value-added 

  5. Physical Fitness 

10.         BPAs give recognition to schools with effective practices and systems that lead to desirable academic and non-academic educational outcomes. There are 4 categories of BPAs, namely: 

  1. Organisational Effectiveness 

  2. Staff Well-Being 

  3. Student All-Round Development 

  4. Teaching and Learning 

National Education Awards 

11.         The Lee Kuan Yew National Education (LKY NE) Award recognises schools that have made special efforts to design and implement innovative and effective programmes to equip our students with the basic attitudes, values and instincts which make them Singaporeans. Up to two LKY NE Awards are given out each year. Other schools with commendable achievements in NE will be given the National Education Achievement Award (NEAA). 

PERFORMANCE INDICATORS 

12.         As in previous years, the Ministry of Education is providing information on the performance of Secondary Schools and Junior Colleges to help pupils and their parents make informed choices when opting for Secondary Schools or Junior Colleges. The performance indicators for Secondary Schools and Junior Colleges highlight the top-ranking schools in the General Certificate of Education (GCE) 'O' and 'A' Level Examinations respectively, both in terms of absolute as well as value-added performance. Performance in terms of physical fitness is also provided.

14.         The high value-added Secondary Schools are shown in Annexes C1 and C2. These schools have helped their pupils perform better than expected based on their PSLE scores. The Ministry will award $20,000 to each of the top 10 schools and $10,000 to each of the next 10 schools in recognition of their good efforts.

The value-added performance of a JC is calculated by comparing its students' A-level performance against the expected performance based on their O-level results when they entered the JC. The Ministry will award $20,000 to Temasek JC and $10,000 to Victoria JC for their good performance.

* The Fitness Index (FI) of each school is based on the height and weight measurements of its pupils and their performance in the NAPFA test. The FI is defined as the average of:

(i). the percentage of pupils within the acceptable weight range according to the Weight for Height Table compiled by School Health Service, and

(ii). the percentage of pupils who pass the NAPFA test.

The acceptable weight range is from 80% to below 120% of standard weight.

Explanation of terms used in Table D1

No. of Pupils: Number of pupils who took the A-level examination for the first time in 2002.

Mean L1R5: Average of pupils' aggregate grades in L1 (English or Higher Mother Tongue language) and relevant 5 subjects for admission to JC in 2001. This gives an indication of the intake quality of a JC.

Mean A-Level Points: Average A-level points obtained by students based on their performance in the best 3 A-level and 2 AO-level subjects (General Paper and mother tongue language). The maximum number of points is 20 (grade A) for A-level subjects and 8 points (grade 1) for AO-level subjects, giving a maximum total for 3 A-level and 2 AO-level subjects of 76 points.

Mean Subject Grade: For A-level subjects, pupils are awarded grades A, B, C, D, E, O or F. For computational purposes, a grade A is assigned a value of 1, B a value of 2 and so on. The mean subject grade of a particular JC is obtained by adding each of these values for each subject taken and dividing by the total number of subjects taken.

% Grades A or B: This gives the percentage of all subject entries in each JC that were graded A or B. It is computed by summing all the grades A and B and dividing the sum by the total number of subjects taken by students. This gives an indication of the quality grades obtained by pupils in a JC.

Explanation of terms used in Table D3

Value-Added Indicator: This indicator measures the difference between how well a JC is expected to do based on its JC1 intake and how well it actually did in the A-Level examination. For JCs, mean A-level Points was used in the computation of expected and actual school performance.

Mean A-Level Points: Average A-level points obtained by students based on their performance in the best 3 A-level and 2 AO-level subjects (General Paper and mother tongue language). The maximum number of points is 20 (grade A) for A-level subjects and 8 points (grade 1) for AO-level subjects, giving a maximum total for 3 A-level and 2 AO-level subjects of 76 points.

Mean Subject Grade: For A-level subjects, pupils are awarded grades A, B, C, D, E, O or F. For computational purposes, a grade A is assigned a value of 1, B a value of 2 and so on. The mean subject grade of a particular JC is obtained by adding each of these values for each subject taken and dividing by the total number of subjects taken.

% Grades A or B: This gives the percentage of all subject entries in each JC that were graded A or B. It is computed by summing all the grades A and B and dividing the sum by the total number of subjects taken by students. This gives an indication of the quality grades obtained by pupils in a JC.

% Passed 3 A-Levels or More: Percentage of students who obtained at least 3 A-level passes (grades A-E).

% Passed 2A & 2AO-Levels or More (Including GP): Percentage of students who obtained at least 2 A-level passes (grades A-E) and 2 AO-Level passes (grades 1 - 6), including GP.

% Passed GP: This column shows a JC's pass rate in GP (grades 1-6).

Fitness Index: The Fitness Index (FI) is based on students' height and weight, and their performance in the National Physical Fitness Award (NAPFA) test. The Index is based on all students (JC1 and JC2), and it is defined as the average of:

i. the percentage of students within the acceptable weight range (based on weight-for-height table provided by Ministry of Health's School Health Service), and

ii. the percentage of students who passed the NAPFA test.

The acceptable weight range is from 80% to below 120% of standard weight.

Ranking on JC1 Intake in 2001: This column ranks the JCs in terms of mean L1R5 aggregate score of their 2001 JC1 intake i.e. the cohort which took the A-level in 2002. L1R5 is the aggregate score for JC admission and the cut-off score is 20.

Notes:

1.           The above L1R5 aggregate is based on students who applied to the JCs through the Joint Admissions Exercise.

2.           Students are given 2 bonus points if they have a pass in both their English and Higher Mother Tongue Language, and another 2 points if their Secondary Schools are affiliated to the JCs that they are applying for, or they have been provisionally admitted to the JC. Students are also given 1 to 2 bonus points based on their CCA performance. Normally, the maximum bonus points allowable are 4 points. However, students applying to Hwa Chong JC, Nanyang JC and Temasek JC for their Chinese LEP or to Tampines JC for the Malay LEP can enjoy additional 2 bonus points. These students are therefore allowed up to a maximum of 6 bonus points.

3.           Further details can be found in the guide to the Joint Admissions Exercise.
