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 23. The ODA (NE) is valid for 5 years beginning from the year the Award was conferred, or till a higher level award is attained, whichever is earlier.
