不知道在海外的新加坡国际学校的要不要参加此类考试?

应该不用。

摘自教育部网站：
http://www.moe.gov.sg/media/press/2012/07/start-of-2012-school-placement.php

SPERS is a centralised placement exercise held at the end of the year for Returning Singaporeans (RS). With SPERS, Singaporean parents working abroad can look forward to easier re-entry into the mainstream school system for their children when they return to Singapore. RS children will only need to sit for one set of centralised SPERS papers for school admission.

去年发生2452起　校园暴力事件大多涉及男生
http://news.omy.sg/News/Local%2BNews/Story/OMYStory201207191535-350170.html




我国去年发生2452起校园暴力事件，少过总学生人数的1%。

教育部长王瑞杰日前在国会回应宏茂桥集选区议员洪鼎基的提问时，提供了过去3年在学校内学生所发生的袭击殴斗事件的数据。

其中，2009年有2834起、2010年有2812起，而2011年则有2452起。这些数据很低，少过总学生人数的1%。

另外，大部份的这些案件并没有造成任何伤势，最多也只是轻伤，此外，涉及武器的案件也很少，每年只有两三起。

超过一半因瞪眼造成；家长：本地校园还是非常安全。完整报道，请翻阅19.07.2012《新明日报》

其实大人也很爱瞪眼, 驾车的人怕都有这经历, 以前就发生过两个司机互相瞪眼, 在行驶中一直瞪, 再双双下车抄东西进行身体接触的...

占领美国:中国人占留美学生的21.8% 90%推荐信造假

据非牟利组织国际教育协会（IIE）的统计，2011年留学美国的中国学生比上一年猛增23%，达到157558人，占留美学生总数的21.8%，留美中国学生比总数排第二的留美印度学生足足多出50%。

在蜂拥而至的中国留学生中，绝大多数是体制外自费留学生。在美国私立高中读完四年，一般需要20万美元（这相当于北京平均年薪的22倍），但这一高昂的花费并不能阻挡中国学生的留美大潮。美国国土安全局（Department of Homeland Security）的数据显示，2006年仅有65名中国学生就读于美国的私立高中，而2011学年，这一数据狂增了100倍，达到6725人。相比2010年，2011年留美的中国学生数增加了近3万人，这比留学美国的加拿大学生总数还要多。纵观历史，157558人的留美中国学生总数比1975年留美国际学生总数还多。

不断富裕起来的中国家长对后代的教育和中国的前景越来越焦虑，而在太平洋的另一边，许多身陷财务困境的美国学校正需要出手阔绰的家长。有急需有急求，于是市场迅速扩张，同时滋生了不少问题。

造假是中国人留学海外不应讳言之痈。上月，英国《每日电讯》独家披露，罗素大学集团（英国名校官方联盟）的北京官方代理通过作弊将中国差生输送至英国名校，而英国本地优生却因此受到排斥。近日，新西兰在抽样调查的1800份中国留学生签证申请中发现279份造假。2010年，为美国高校提供中国事务咨询的公司Zinch China曾对申请留美的200多名中国学生进行调查，并发布报告。结论指出，90%的中国留学申请人提交了虚假推荐信，70%的个人陈述由枪手代写，50%的高中成绩单是伪造，10%的学业奖项和其它成就是无中生有。

留学是世界全球化的必然结果，而留学申请造假是中国问题在全球化背景下放大的必然结果。我们将用一种不光彩的方式占领美利坚。

张赞成：　公务员须具备同理心

（2012-07-25）

今年共有61人获颁公共服务委员会奖学金，他们来自初级学院、
理工学院、直通车计划以及IB课程等不同教育背景，其中包括
黄祥龙（左起）、胡蕴芳、林晗和许丽梅。

    　要成为一个好的公务员，他不仅学业成绩要优异，更须具备同理心，以及与广大社群联系的技能。

    公共服务委员会主席张赞成昨天在奖学金颁发仪式上，鼓励公共服务委员会奖学金得主，在求学期间，积极走出校园，与校园外的不同社群接触，继续参与社区的志愿服务。

    　他对奖学金得主说：“这些与不同社群接触、参与社区志愿服务的经验，会让你在往后与不同利益相关者接触，共同制订一些影响国人的政策时，起着重大帮助。”

　　今年共有61人获颁公共服务委员会奖学金，委员会今年共收到2000多份申请，面试了300名申请者。奖学金得主将分别到英国、美国、中国和本地大学深造。当中，两名在籍大学生获颁中期奖学金。

　　张赞成在演讲中也强调，今年奖学金申请者来自不同教育背景，除了有初级学院的学生，也有来自理工学院、直通车计划以及IB课程的学生。

    胡蕴芳（21岁）和许丽梅（22岁）两人都是义安理工学院毕业生，前者将到英国剑桥大学修读政治学、心理学和社会学，后者则会到美国莎拉劳伦斯学院修读博雅教育课程。胡蕴芳在义安理工学院修读电影系，她表示电影让她对周围的人与事感兴趣，进而思考各种社会问题。许丽梅在义安理工学院修读大众传媒。她表示修读博雅学，让人有较广阔视野，能从更广层面去思考问题。

    　毕业自华侨中学（高中部）的林晗（19岁），将到中国北京大学修读国际关系。她说：“除了从新加坡角度去思考中国课题，我也希望置身中国，从中国角度去思考中国课题。”目前在国大修读商业管理和公共政策双学位课程的黄祥龙（23岁），是中期奖学金得主之一。他认为这两个课程相辅相成，让他往后从事公共服务时，能从多方面思索问题。

顶尖中学　女教师搞男生被调查

本地顶尖中学的年轻女教师，被指与未成年男学生上床，被男生的父母揭发，警方介入调查。

该所中学是本地学业和体育课外活动成绩皆出色的中学，涉案的女教师今年20来岁，事发时在该中学担任文学科教师，也是校内一支体育队的负责老师。

被指与她有染的男学生现在16岁，事发时是该支体育校队的队员之一，因为训练时间长，经常有机会与女教师接触。

一般相信，由于接触机会和时间频密，女教师和男学生可能因此“日久生情”，铸成大错。

Fiona2004  这个案例与另一个呼应：国大法学教授被调查。

那个女学生的身份也曝光了。


  Photo of ex-student in sex-for-grades case revealed
       AsiaOne |    Sat Jul 28 2012


                              

      
   
    SINGAPORE - The identity of the former law student involved in the sex-for-grades case was revealed yesterday to be Darinne Ko Wen Hui, 22, who is currently understood to be working overseas.

This was revealed in court when the professor, Tey Tsun Hang, 41, was charged over the alleged scandal.

Within the first half of the day, Darinne Ko Wen Hui's photo and information on her was circulated on the Internet. Miss Ko has since taken down her LinkedIn profile and deleted her Facebook page.

She is alleged to have sexually gratified Tey on two occasions and given him gifts such a Mont Blanc pen worth $740, two tailor-made shirts worth $236.20, and an iPod Touch.

She also made a bill payment of $1,278.60.

Ms Ko, who turns 23 today, has not been charged.

The law student at the National University of Singapore from 2008 to 2012 graduated just last month with a second upper honours degree. She is described as highly motivated and competitive.


She studied at Raffles Girls' School, Raffles Junior College and was on NUS Law's Dean's List in 2009.

According to her LinkedIn profile, she interned for two years at Rajah & Tann law firm from 2008 to 2010. She reportedly has a training contract with the firm but is also believed to be currently holding a job in a firm in New York.

The Straits Times reported that Ms Ko does not seem to be enrolled in this year's five-month preparatory course leading to Part B of the Singapore's Bar Examinations.


Law graduates must pass Part B and then undergo about six months of pupilage at a firm before becoming full-fledged lawyers.

Ms Ko also worked as a summer associate at O'Melveny & Myers in 2010 for a year.

She had studied equity and trusts and took a personal property law class under Tey in 2010 and end of 2011 respectively. Ms Koh was also part of a group of students who helped him prepare a law textbook titled Trusts, Trustees and Equitable Remedies.

The New Paper reported that information her Facebook page revealed that she loves to travel and is an ardent fan of English football team Manchester United.

The reportedly tomboyish girl would wear the team's jerseys to schools.

She also loves to hobnob but hates long skirts, reported the tabloid. She had blogged in July 2008 that she thought mingling with the who's who of the legal fraternity is "seriously cool".

She then talked about wearing longer skirts for now but comforted herself saying, "it's okay, once I'm up there, I can wear skirts above the knee".

Speaking on her behalf, her lawyers Subhas Anandan and Sunil Sudheesan said that she "strenuously denies any corrupt wrongdoing," reported The Straits Times.

They were at court yesterday to apply for a gag order to keep her identity from becoming public knowledge.

But this was objected to by both the prosecution and Tay's defence lawyers.

District Judge Lim Tse Haw pointed out that Ms Ko was not "a party to the proceedings", so the application of the gag order could not be made, reported The New Paper.

Ms Ko's NUS degree may be in question as an NUS spokesperson said students who breach its Code of Student Conduct are subject to disciplinary proceedings.

郑尊行被控六受贿罪

（2012-07-28）

随着国大法学院副教授郑尊行被控，被指献身的法律系女学生的名字也曝光，这名女学生高文慧已毕业。郑尊行被指两次和当时还在大学念书的高文慧进行性行为。除此，他涉嫌三次接受高文慧的礼物，以及一次要她支付账单。

　　曾经当过初庭法官的新加坡国立大学法学院副教授郑尊行，被指在两年前接受女学生性贿赂，让她献身换取好成绩，昨天被控抵触防止贪污法令。

　　马来西亚籍的被告郑尊行（41岁，Tey Tsun Hang）今年4月被贪污调查局逮捕，随着他被控，被指献身的法律系女学生的名字曝光。

　　这名女学生高文慧（23岁，Darinne Ko Wen Hui，译音）已毕业。郑尊行被指两次和当时还在大学念书的高文慧进行性行为；除此，他涉嫌三次接受高文慧的礼物，以及一次要她支付账单。

　　郑尊行有妻子和女儿。他面控后步出法庭，向媒体发表声明说：“控方指控很严重，影响我的人身自由、诚信和生计。我的声誉受破坏，家人也受到伤害。
国大已展开调查

“人们都知道我敢于发表自己的看法，包括对新加坡法律制度的意见。我真诚发表言论，从没恶意。因此对于我所面对的控状，我将毫不畏惧坚决抗辩到底。我知道前路艰难，我希望能有一个公正审讯，使真相大白，洗脱罪名。”

　　郑尊行目前已被停职，国立大学发言人说，随着总检察署提控郑尊行，校方也将展开调查，并暂停他的职务。

　　发言人说，校方严厉看待触犯条例的事件。国大职员必须遵守行为准则。如果有职员违反准则，校方将采取适当的行动，包括解雇严重违反行为准则的职员。

　　郑尊行昨天在刘比得律师陪同下到法庭，他左手柱黑色雨伞为支撑，一拐一拐步入法庭，在场等候的摄记上前拍照时，他神情淡定。

　　主控官陈建平副检察司庭上表示，被告面对六项控状，如果愿意认罪，控方将以三项提控他，余项交由法官下判时考虑。

　　刘比得律师说，他当事人在贪污调查局接受问话近14个小时，午夜过后才获得保释。他需要时间听取他当事人的指示。

　　涉案女学生高文慧聘请资深刑事律师苏峇士和苏尼尔律师代表，苏峇士昨天出庭旁听。他向法官申请庭令禁止媒体泄漏高文慧的身份，不过控辩双方反对。

　　林书浩法官以案件只涉及控辩双方，只有他们可以提出申请，拒绝了苏峇士的申请。法官案展8月23日进行审前会议，准被告以10万元保释，并扣留他的护照。

　　刘比得律师向法官申请让郑尊行出国，律师说，他当事人去年已经安排今年到香港大学担任一年客座副教授，讲授法律课程。他的当事人打算8月30日离开新加坡。

　　主控官表示，控方需要知道详情，例如被告什么时候回国，有没有文件证明等。

法官要辩方先准备好一切文件和资料，8月3日回到法庭申请。据知，郑尊行将在9月1日至明年5月31日到香港大学担任客座教授。

　　郑尊行被指在2010年7月24日和7月28日两天，与高文慧进行性行为，作为他给高文慧好成绩的酬劳。此外，他也被指三次接受高文慧给他的一支价值740元的万宝龙（Mont Blanc）笔、两套量身定做价值236元2角的衬衫、一个价值160元的苹果iPod Touch。另一次，他被指要高文慧支付1278元6角的账单。控状并未说明是什么账单。

　　郑尊行面对六项受贿控状，若罪成，每项控状可被判罚款高达10万元或坐牢最长五年或两者兼施。

高文慧坚决否认行贿

　　被指提供性贿赂的高文慧坚决否认行贿。她昨天通过代表律师苏峇士和苏尼尔发表声明说，她没有被提控，当时机来临时，她将出庭公开说辞。她没有做错事，坚决否认行贿。

　　她说，目前她关注的是协助法庭找出真相，从而获得公平的结论。而她坚信真相终将大白。

　　高文慧案发时在国大法律系念书，曾在本地的立杰律师事务所当没有领薪的实习生，她分别在2009年和2010年在律师事务所当了3个星期和6个星期的实习生。

　　高文慧今年毕业，有传言说她目前在外国的律师事务所当实习律师，也有传言说她人在美国纽约。

国大法学院院长：
凡事以学生利益为优先考量

新加坡国立大学法学院副教授郑尊行被控后遭停职，引起学生议论，法学院院长陈西文（Simon Chesterman）昨天发电邮向学生保证，校方在事件中一直以学生的利益为优先考量，即使教授职务遭暂停，学生课业也不会受太大的影响。

　　他首先在电邮中指出，随着总检察署提控郑尊行，校方也已展开内部调查，暂停他的职务，但郑尊行下学年没被安排授课，事件的进展对于学生的课业应不会有太大影响。

　　陈西文在电邮中强调：“虽然针对这起案件有多种揣测，但我向你们保证，校方在事件中一直以学生的利益为优先考量。”

　　他也解释，校方在今年4月获知贪污调查局正对郑尊行展开调查时，决定审慎处理，取消郑尊行上学期负责的两项课程。选修课程的学生成绩改由法学院其他教授评鉴。

　　“虽然对郑尊行的指控不涉及上学期的课程，但事关法学院评分制度的诚信，校方决定采取预防性措施。”

　　事件曝光后，法学院一些教授曾向媒体解释说，郑尊行下学期不授课，但这是因他放进修假（sabbatical leave），而不是因为接受调查。

上学期郑尊行没授课

　　然而，法学院一名二年级生就曾向本报透露，一直以来由郑尊行专门负责的课程，下学期改由另一名教授授课，他觉得事有蹊跷。

　　这名学生也说，郑尊行原本上学期应与其他教授联合负责某一门课，但结果从1月至4月左右整个学期都没有授课，令大家纳闷。

　　陈西文指出，国大所有教职员都得遵循一套行为准则（Code of Conduct），校方严厉看待任何违反准则的行为。

他也提醒，所有学生应遵循国大的学生行为准则（NUS Code of Student Conduct），若有人违反准则，也得接受纪律处分。

　　陈西文建议学生，若对课业或甚至是个人事宜有顾虑，可通过多个管道向学校反馈，包括可直接通知院长办公室，或找学院学生顾问谈。

　　他感谢大家在这艰难时刻对校方的谅解，希望学生若还有顾虑，直接联络他或负责协调学生事务的副院长。

  德景中学学生和训导主任冲突。惊动警方。

Student and discipline master in shouting match
     Joyce Lim and David Sun |       The New Paper |    Sat Jul 28 2012



                              

      
   
    Northland Secondary School had to call in the police to manage an angry student on Wednesday. The New Paper understands that John (not his real name), 16, was upset with how the discipline master had handled his friend.

We are not naming the student as requested by the school's vice-principal, Madam So Mun Yee.

            Unhappy, John went to the school office and demanded to see the vice-principal.

Outside the office, he started shouting and, at one stage, got so angry with the discipline master that he allegedly grabbed a stack of old newspapers and threw it at him.

The incident took place at about 2.30pm at the school in Yishun.

A student who witnessed the incident told The New Paper that John, a Secondary 4 student, stood outside the office and shouted.

The witness added: "The discipline master shouted at the student who then picked up a pile of old newspapers that were placed outside the office and threw it at him."

Not tolerated
Madam So, however, maintained that John did not carry out such an act.

            She explained that the police were called in to tell the child that the school does not tolerate such behaviour.

TNP understands that John, who will be sitting for his N-level examinations this year, was upset with the discipline master for punishing his Secondary 1 friend, whose school skirt was too short.

He decided to take matters in his own hands.

It is not known which vice-principal John was asking to see, as the school has two vice-principals.

The student who witnessed the incident said that although she does not know John personally, she has seen him around in school.

"He is not notorious in school and I have not really heard of him getting into trouble, although we have some very problematic students here," she added.

"He was just trying to speak up for his ex-girlfriend, who is always being called into the general office for wearing her school skirt too short."

John and his mother were seen leaving the school at about 5.20pm.

John's mother would only say that her son's act was carried out on impulse and that he is remorseful.

After the incident, the Secondary 1 student whom John had stood up for tweeted in Chinese: "Why are you so silly?"

A day before the incident, John had tweeted that he was going to scold the teachers because he was angry with them.

A police spokesman said they had received a call at about 2.45pm on Wednesday, requesting for assistance at Northland Secondary School.

The police later established that there was a dispute between two parties and advised them accordingly.

No one was hurt in the incident, said the spokesman.

"The school takes discipline seriously and does not condone disrespect to teachers," said Madam So.

"The school has counselled the boy and will take appropriate discipline actions.

"The student's parents have been notified and have expressed support of the school's action to help their child in managing his emotions."
