ABC Junior College
Located in the heart of Eng Ma Kio, ABC Junior College has come a long way since her establishment in 1984. The college is just a 3-minute dash from Yu Cha Keng MRT station and is well-served by a network of buses because there is a bus stop infront of the school.. Today, AJC has positioned herself as the leading neighbourhood college, simply because there are no other colleges to compete with in this neigbourhood. It has made its way up the ladder and became the most Low Class premier school in Singapore. She has consistently been ranked sixth among the other junior colleges in Singapore, based on the academic performance in the Singapore-Cambridge A-Level Examination. Despite its above average ranking, nothing else about the school ever reaches the average mark.
AJC has a staff strength of about 20 non-teaching staff and over 100 teachers, with 70% of them holding Honours degrees and perhaps one or two of them with Masters degrees. The remaining 30% are just here for the money. We have 10 Heads of Department in charge of our various non-existent faculties and courses. Our teachers are committed to the college vision and are enthusiastic about their own relaxation. What they are not enthusiastic about is the student's learning process and welfare. Our staff constantly upgrade themselves through in-service courses and seminars, although the use of such courses is in doubt. It only serves to let the teachers take a few weeks off from their teaching career. A staff seminar is held annually, during which staff members are put through problem-solving situations to develop analytical thinking and teamwork. Neverthless, we still face the same problem of non-existent school spirit each year.
Our school emphrasises on Self-Directed Learning and we firmly believe that its the student's duty to do their own learning. Hence we have reached the milestone of the Educational Era and given a whole new meaning to the word "Teachers". Our teachers exist in order to coach our students to study on their own without the help of the teachers. Ultimately, we may decide to further this developement by getting rid of all the teachers as well. This method of teaching is the breakthrough of the twenty-first century.
Our student enrolment is drawn from among the top 10-15% of the bottom 10-15% secondary schools. The unique aspect of our student population is that it comprises students from diverse social and financial backgrounds, regardless of their previous affiliation to school and religion. Given the location of our college, a large proportion of students come from neighbourhood schools in the region, namely Ang Mo Kio, Bishan, Yishun and Hougang. Hence their background aren't really diverse and we are only trying to kid you in the first sentence of this paragraph.
We will take you on a journey in life that you will forever remember. At the end of this journey, you will be able to reduce the need for computer harddrives and physical books by having all the information in your head. You will also be able to supplement Singapore's economy by buying anti-depression drugs which will greatly harm your sexual capabilities, which ultimately lead to AJC having the pregancy rate of 0%. Finally, you will learn to be independent learners, as our teachers will patiently and repeatedly ignore your needs and problems so that you will be able to solve them yourself.
Join AJC now. You will never live to regret it.
