Action Planning
• Management: Any overall planning of OLE
and SLP to cater for JUPAS arrangement?
Who will lead? Who should be involved?
In particular, what are the roles of class
teachers and students?
• Educational: What is the educational
meaning for students?
• Technical: What kinds of technical tools
will be used for such submission?...
8 questions to ask…
1. Who will lead? Who will
involve? How can we get there?
Possible strategy:
• 1 management staff oversee the whole process
(e.g. VP); reshuffling manpower as appropriate
• 2 ‘maps’ – “System map” & “Road map” towards
submission
• 3 strands of ‘new’ data –
I. OEA activity data;
II. Write-up of Additional Info;
III. SRR info
• 4 key players: Career teachers, Class teachers, IT
experts, OLE co-ordinators – training and briefing
Management perspective
2a. Are the class teachers and students know
about the JUPAS arrangement, with
selected submission option?
Possible strategy: arrange suitable seminars to
students under the assistance of Career teachers /
SLP coordinator (Management and Educational)
2b. Are the class teachers and students
well-versed about the tools to be used
in the preparation process?
Possible strategy: Arrange workshops for class
teachers and students under the assistance of IT
teachers / SLP coordinator (Technical)
3. How was the progress of SLP
depository in S.4 and S.5?
Possible Strategy: Check the development of
individual SLPs early before starting the selection &
submission process(Educational and Technical)
4. Will students be supported in
selecting their OEA items?
Possible Strategy: Select JUPAS OEA under
the assistance of Career & Class teachers and
IT teachers (Educational and Technical)
5. Are students supported in the write up
of Additional Information(300 words)?
Possible Strategy: Making reference to the
SLP’s self-account under the assistance of
Career teachers, Language teachers and
Class teachers (Educational)
6.
Do all teachers have a common consensus in the
generation of percentiles and overall ratings?
Possible Strategy: Set up Ad Hoc Committee
comprising of panel heads of KLAs and led by VP
of Academic Affairs to arrive at common
consensus (Management)
How to provide the academic performance in
percentile and overall rating for reference by
universities?
•

•
Schools will have full discretion to determine
results that would best reflect their students’
academic performance at school when
completing the Senior Secondary years.
There is support from WebSAMS.
Course providers of Applied Learning courses
will provide data of student learning progress to
EDB in May and December for S5 and S6 study
respectively, and schools will receive students’
learning progress reports from EDB in June and
January respectively.
7. Have you conveyed the information
to parents?
Possible Strategy: Mobilise PTAs to
convey relevant (preferably holistic)
message to parents (Management)
8. Do you have any alternative
plans?
• Direct entry via JUPAS excel template by
batch or by students…
• Use of clerical support in the verification of
students’ information
• Testing on JUPAS online interface (via
providers)
Possible Strategy: Ensure common
consensus among relevant personnel
and exercise the alternative plans
accordingly (Management)
