PERFORMANCE
INDICATORS FOR JUNIOR COLLEGES 2001
1.
As in previous years, the Ministry of Education (MOE) is providing
information on the performance of Junior Colleges (JCs) to help
students and their parents make informed choices when selecting
JCs.
2.
For the 2000 GCE A-level examination, Victoria JC was the top JC
for the value-added performance while Temasek JC came in second.
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 Victoria JC and $10,000 to Temasek
JC for their value-added performance. Jurong JC, Victoria JC and
Yishun JC were the top JCs in Fitness Index.
3.
Table 1 gives an overall picture of how
each college performed in a number of selected academic
performance indicators and the intake quality of its students.
4.
Table 2 shows the students' physical
fitness and percentage of overweight students in each JC.
5.
In Table 3, the colleges are ranked
according to the different indicators, including value-added
performance and fitness index. It shows that different colleges
can excel in different areas.
6.
Table 4 shows the L1R5 aggregate scores of
students admitted to the different JCs in 2001.
7.
Data on the performance of each JC will be included in the
Information Booklet which students will receive when applying for
admission into JCs.
