Press Release PRESS RELEASE 12 May 2010 80 Secondary Schools to Participate in Direct School Admission Exercise 1. This year, 80 schools, 6 more than last year, will be participating in the 2010 Direct School Admission – Secondary Exercise (DSA-Sec) for admission to Secondary One in 2011. The DSA-Sec Exercise promotes holistic education by giving participating schools greater flexibility in selecting students while holding to the key principles of transparency and meritocracy.

Background 12. MOE has been giving schools, polytechnics and universities greater flexibility in their admission of students to allow a more diverse range of student achievements and talents to be recognised. 13. Since 2004, MOE has introduced a phased plan to provide greater flexibility in the secondary and junior college (JC) school admission system. The plan includes: • allowing schools with Integrated Programme (IP) or Specialised Independent Schools (viz. NUS High School, School of the Arts and School of Science and Technology, Singapore) full discretion in admissions; • enhancing the autonomy of Autonomous Schools (AS) and Independent Schools (IS) by: o increasing their level of discretionary places to 10% and 20% respectively, and o allowing them to adopt their own merit-based admission criteria for these places; • extending discretion on admissions, of up to 5% of intake, to mainstream secondary schools that are able to develop strong niche programmes; and • giving discretion on admissions to all JCs.

Revised: November 29, 2015. Accepted: November 29, 2015 Abstract This study was aimed at investigating the form of music media employed in the teaching and learning process (TLP) in the kindergartens, and the teachers’ effort to develop and apply music media in the TLP. The researchers used a qualitative approach. The research was conducted in TK Hj. Isriati Baiturahman and TK Negeri Pembina Semarang. The subjects of the study were principals, teachers, staffs and students. In collecting the data, the researchers used three different techniques: interview, observation and documentation. Then, the researchers used data reduction, categorization and data interpretation to analyse the data. The result shows that the teachers in both schools have utilized varied music media in the TLP. In TK Hj. Isriati, the teachers used music media in the form of music composition and electronic equipment; and the new music instruments were used by the teachers in extracurricular activities. Meanwhile, the teachers in TK Negeri Pembina utilized music media, including music composition, music instruments and electronic equipment.

It was an event of great importance. Education then was not easily available to the local children. It was highly treasured. The few schools around were either Government Schools or Mission Schools run by Churches catering for a select few. Our school was originally called Anglo Chinese Pree School - a very descriptive and prescriptive name. In its early days, our school was the only school founded by a Chinese, teaching boys in both Chinese and English. Bilingualism was appreciated even in those early days of our history. The founding of a school is like the planting of a seed - its survival and future is at best uncertain. It required constant nurturing and support by the community around it. Fortunately, for our school, such support from the community was forthcoming. Three years after its founding, it became an aided school and shortly after was given land by the Colonial Government for a new building. The Colonial Governor himself opened the new building in 1893, and the school was renamed Gan Eng Seng School.

  • Kolintang Studies During a Pandemic
    [Working Paper] Kolintang Studies during a Pandemic MATT MENGER Matt Menger has bachelor’s and master’s degrees in music from the University of Houston, and continued his studies with courses in World Arts at Dallas International University. He is an Arts Consultant with SIL and has worked in Southeast Asia for the past ten years. Matt has a particular interest in the interaction of local arts and religion, as well as in arts revitalization movements. He is a member of the Society for Ethnomusicology, the International Council for Traditional Music, and the Global Ethnodoxology Network. Introduction Just over a year ago, my family and I relocated to a new city in Indonesia: Manado, near the northern tip of the island of Sulawesi. Although we have lived in Indonesia for over ten years, and in a different city on Sulawesi for the past nine, moving to a new location requires starting over: building new relationships in our neighborhood, meeting the artistic community, building relationships with new coworkers, learning and understanding the cultural differences here from where we lived previously, and much more. Doing research for a graduate class in learning a new art form, for which I initially wrote this paper, was not only an excellent way to begin learning about all of the above but is also a path to how I might be able to better serve this community. Choosing a Focus As I considered which artistic tradition to pursue for this course, I was torn, primarily due to the history of this area of Indonesia. There has been a colonial presence in North Sulawesi since the 1600s, with influences from the Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, and English (Ricklefs 2008).

    ST JOHN SINGAPORE DEMENTIA DAY CARE CENTRE SM Priory of Singapore St John Singapore %=.#,-"+4+"+)!# OUR ACTIVITIES !!!! !! !! ! ANNUAL REPORT !! !! ! 2018 !! !!! !!!!!!! !!!! !!!!! ! MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN Annual Report 2018 Message from Chairman, National St John Council Prior, Priory of Singapore I am pleased to report the successful completion and usage of our brand new 3-storey extension building within our premise. The ground floor offers Dementia day care for our folks suffering from dementia. The St John Day Care Dementia Centre is accredited by the Ministry of Health and those who qualified for Government subventions can get as high as eighty percent (80%) of the Government subsidies. We enroll clients of all races and religions and provide non pork meals. We are thankful to the Agency for Integrated Care (AIC) for providing us the necessary support and assistance. What distinguishes us from the other Dementia Centres is our Dementia Centre Garden where Dementia Clients, if they so desire, can spend time planting, watering their own plants. The rest can spend some time daily in the garden to enjoy the fresh air and greenery. The new parade square which doubles up as carpark space, is well patronized by our cadets especially during weekends. This is what it was meant to be, to provide a meeting point for our cadets to conduct their activities and use the parade ground. Hopefully when the cadets grow up to be adults, they will have fond memories of the days in St John Headquarters. Our HQ building renovation project is near completion and our building now has a new roof replacing the old asbestos roof and new coat of paint.

    Bodies of Sound, Agents of Muslim Malayness: Malaysian Identity Politics and the Symbolic Ecology of the Gambus Lute Joseph M. Kinzer A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2017 Reading Committee: Christina Sunardi, Chair Patricia Campbell Laurie Sears Philip Schuyler Meilu Ho Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Music ii ©Copyright 2017 Joseph M. Kinzer iii University of Washington Abstract Bodies of Sound, Agents of Muslim Malayness: Malaysian Identity Politics and the Symbolic Ecology of the Gambus Lute Joseph M. Kinzer Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Dr. Christina Sunardi Music In this dissertation, I show how Malay-identified performing arts are used to fold in Malay Muslim identity into the urban milieu, not as an alternative to Kuala Lumpur’s contemporary cultural trajectory, but as an integrated part of it. I found this identity negotiation occurring through secular performance traditions of a particular instrument known as the gambus (lute), an Arabic instrument with strong ties to Malay history and trade. During my fieldwork, I discovered that the gambus in Malaysia is a potent symbol through which Malay Muslim identity is negotiated based on various local and transnational conceptions of Islamic modernity. My dissertation explores the material and virtual pathways that converge a number of historical, geographic, and socio-political sites—including the National Museum and the National Conservatory for the Arts, iv Culture, and Heritage—in my experiences studying the gambus and the wider transmission of muzik Melayu (Malay music) in urban Malaysia. I argue that the gambus complicates articulations of Malay identity through multiple agentic forces, including people (musicians, teachers, etc.), the gambus itself (its materials and iconicity), various governmental and non-governmental institutions, and wider oral, aural, and material transmission processes.
