Recognising School Achievements in 2008

First Primary School to win School Excellence Award

1. The pinnacle award for educational excellence under the Ministry of Education (MOE) Masterplan of Awards (MoA), the School Excellence Award (SEA), will be given to a primary school for the first time this year. Raffles Girls’ Primary will receive this top accolade with two other schools, National Junior College and Temasek Junior College. This year, a total of 246 schools will receive 555 Level Two Awards1 and Special Awards2 under the MoA. These awards will be presented to the schools at the 2008 MOE Work Plan Seminar on 25 September 2008 by Minister for Education, Dr Ng Eng Hen.

2. The MoA recognises our schools’ efforts in providing a holistic education to enable our students to achieve the Desired Outcomes of Education. The awards serve as milestone checks to guide schools on their journey to excellence by providing a systematic and progressive framework to chart progress through self- assessment, benchmarking and continuous improvement.

3. Parents and students can also refer to the MoA for information on the key dimensions of a school’s performance to help them in the selection of schools.

4. This press release provides information on the following:

A. Award Winners under the MoA3. These comprise schools that have attained commendable achievements in various categories, including exemplary school processes as well as excellent outcomes in academic and non-academic areas. Information on the 2008 award winners are provided in the Honour Rolls. Information on past Level Two and Special Award winners whose awards are still valid is also provided.

1 Level Two Awards include Sustained Achievement Awards (SAAs), Outstanding Development Awards (ODAs), and Best Practice Awards (BPAs). 2 Special Awards include the School Excellence Award (SEA) and the School Distinction Award (SDA). 3 The MOE Masterplan of Awards was instituted in 1998 as part of the implementation of the School Excellence Model (SEM). The SEM is a framework for school self-assessment that emphasises a holistic approach to education with equal focus on processes and outcomes. 1 B. School Achievement Tables. Introduced in 2004 to replace the school ranking tables, they highlight secondary school achievements in academic value-added and non-academic domains.

Refinement to Criteria for Academic Value-Added Awards

15. Refinements have been made to the criteria for the Academic Value-Added (VA) awards this year. With immediate effect, JCs offering the Integrated Programme (IP) will no longer be eligible for the VA awards. The VA awards recognise Secondary Schools and JCs which have added value to the academic performance of their students, after taking into account the O-level performance of the students prior to admission. For IP JCs8 , these students constitute an increasingly small proportion of their student populations.

8 The IP JCs refer to Raffles JC, Hwa Chong Institution, National JC, Victoria JC and Temasek JC, and the JC sections of River Valley High School, Dunman High School and Anglo-Chinese School (Independent). 4 (IV) Best Practice Award

16. The Best Practice Award (BPA) recognises schools for their effective practices and systems that lead to good educational outcomes in both academic and non- academic areas. There are 4 categories of award for the BPA: Organisational Effectiveness, Student All-Round Development, Staff Well-Being, and Teaching and Learning.

17. The sharing of best practices by award winners in the Best Practice Sharing Forums organised annually has allowed other schools to put in place similar processes to enhance the educational outcomes for their students.

18. This year, 17 schools will be presented with 24 BPAs (see Annex C1). The schools will receive a plaque for each category of the BPA. The breakdown is as follows: a. 3 schools will receive the BPA for Student All-Round Development b. 7 schools will receive the BPA for Staff Well-Being c. 14 schools will receive the BPA for Teaching and Learning

19. The BPA is valid for 5 years. The list of BPA winners from 2004 to 2008 can be found in Annex C2.

(V) Awards for National Education

20. National Education (NE) is an important part of the education process. It aims to develop in our young, the instinct for survival, national cohesion and confidence in our future. NE provides the knowledge, experiences and tools for our young to know and understand Singapore, to acquire a well-founded confidence about the Singaporean way of life, and to critically think about how they can shape Singapore’s future.

21. The NE Awards aim to encourage and recognise schools for their NE efforts. There are two levels of attainment for the NE Awards: the Development Award, i.e., DA (NE), and at the next higher level, the Outstanding Development Award, i.e., ODA (NE). The attainment of each level of award depends on how well a school meets the same set of evaluation criteria for both levels. a) Development Award for National Education

22. The DA (NE) is valid for 3 years beginning from the year the Award was conferred, or till a higher level award is attained, whichever is earlier. A certificate will be presented to the winning schools. The list of 2008 winners for DA (NE) is given in Annex D1. b) Outstanding Development Award for National Education

The LKY NE Award is the pinnacle of the NE Awards. The winner will emerge from the LKY NE Award candidates, which are chosen from the ODA (NE) award winners for that year. A maximum of 2 awards will be given out each year, one for the Primary Schools category, and another for the Secondary Schools & Junior Colleges/Centralised Institute category.

26. This year, 2 schools will be receiving the LKY NE Award. The schools will each receive a crystal plaque and a cash award of $3,000. One teacher from each school will also be sponsored to attend a conference related to National Education. The LKY NE Award winners for 2008 are:

a. North Spring Primary School b. National Junior College (also winner of the inaugural LKY NE Award in 2002)
