Nanyang JC saga: Many O'level 6-points students want to transfer out due to misinformation by school

[agau168]

Nanyang JC has a long-standing loophole that allows students to get in through Arts stream to study Science subject combination. For many years, many NYJC students took advantage of this loophole. This year, new school principal just plugged the loophole. Nothing wrong with that but the problem is students now complain school misrepresented to them that they can still use this loophole. During open-house, students ask the school staff can or not. School staff says can. After apply and get into NYJC, principal suddenly say cannot.

Now, many of these elite O'level 6-points students want to transfer out of NYJC so that they can study Science subject combination in other JCs. Probably end up in lousier JCs despite scoring 6 points in O'levels. Students and parents now must be boiling mad. Principal sure tio complain to MOE one.

Why so entitled? Since it's a loophole, it's normal to close it without announcing to everyone

No use one. NYJC cut-off points for Arts students is 6 points for Arts students. How many genuine Arts students can get into NYJC Arts? 6 points leh.
This loophole has been exploited by NYJC to lower their cut-off points for Arts stream by attracting students who want to study Science subjects in a good JC by applying in as Arts students.

Anyway, suggest concerned parents can go talk to their MP

Ask MP to raise parliamentary question to ask the minister of education

this one should be within their right as citizens
