The wide reach of IGCSEs

By ANUSHIA KANDASIVAM

ESIDES the national education and examination system, the next most popular education system available in Malaysia is the IGCSE system. These British examinations, the International General Certicate of Secondary Education, are the international version of the United Kingdoms national General Certicate of Secondary Education (GCSEs). The IGCSEs are offered by Cambridge International Examinations (CIE), which is part of the University of Cambridge and is the worlds largest provider of international education programmes. It can be extrapolated that the Cambridge IGCSE is the most popular international education system in the world because of the vastness of the Commonwealth, but it is more than this that makes the programme so popular. In the last few years, the International Baccalaureate (IB), another international education programme, has been gaining popularity around the world, but

the IGCSE continues to maintain a good hold in Malaysia and is the most-offered international programme in the country.

Different approaches
As part of its bid to become a regional education hub, Malaysia has an abundance of international schools currently there are about 90 campuses throughout the country and only 12 of them do not offer the IGCSE programme. Why its continuing popularity? Basically, the Cambridge IGCSE programme remains so popular in Malaysia is because the system has been proven to be comprehensive, holistic and a good indicator of academic and thinking skills.

Critical thinkers are needed to grow the nation.

One way this is achieved is through a curriculum that allows students to choose from a variety of learning routes that will enable them to explore and develop a wide range of abilities and skills. This is perhaps the programmes biggest draw, and its main difference from the Malaysian national curriculum, which is comparatively limited. While the majority of national schools stream SPM students into two distinct categories science and arts according to CIE, the IGCSE curriculum emphasises building breadth of knowledge and cross-curricular perspectives. This means that students are encouraged to study a variety of subjects and explore connections between them. The SPM programme does offer a variety of subjects, from the usual arts and literature, and science and mathematics, to languages, social sciences, and vocational and technical subjects. However, the majority of schools offer only the conventional arts, literature, science and mathematics subjects, limiting the students choices in higher study and eventually career. This is not to say that all international schools offer every IGCSE subject available as with national schools, the subjects offered depends on the schools capacity and availability of qualied teachers. But students do have more choices in what they want to study, subjects that are offered are wider in scope, and teaching and learning methods are through discussion, interaction, understanding and application. CIE lists the following as areas

of development and intended outcomes of the IGCSE programme: l Subject content l Applying knowledge and understanding to new as well as unfamiliar situations l Intellectual enquiry l Flexibility and responsiveness to change l Working and communicating in English l Inuencing outcomes l Cultural awareness

the coin, there are observers who comment that the IGCSEs are actually easier than the GCSEs and so it is easier for students to obtain higher scores. Either way, there seems to be a beginning of a shift in focus towards a more exam-oriented system with emphasis on high scores. Interestingly, this is the opposite of what is happening in Malaysia.

Evolution
For an education system to be truly effective, it has to change with the times. Malaysias education system has remained fundamentally unchanged since the countrys independence, but systematic changes are currently being implemented in order to reach the goals set by the Malaysia Education Blueprint 2013-2025. Teaching and learning is set to change to a less exam-oriented system, and testing will, ideally, be no longer just for the objective of achieving high grades, but to ensure understanding and application of knowledge. The new de-centralised examination system, which will slowly be put into place starting end of this year with the national third form PMR exams, is aimed at eliminating the need for content recall and instead ensure students are trained to think critically. The very fact that the national system is being changed to accommodate these elements shows how important they are to childrens education and future, as well as the future of the nation. The GCSE, the UK national system, will also be undergoing some changes from next year. According to the UKs Department of Education, the system is being reformed to offer more challenging subject content and rigorous assessment structures in order to provide proper preparation of the A-Levels examination, the next step between secondary school and university. No changes to the IGCSEs have been announced, but educationalists have observed that the GCSE reforms may be an attempt to bring the system up to the higher standards of the IGCSEs. The IGCSEs are a linear examination system one big exam is taken at the end of the year, and there is no coursework, as compared to the modular GCSEs, where a few exams still offer multiple choice questions. In fact, there is a current trend in the UK for local students to take some IGCSE exams instead of GCSEs, and even of double entries students taking both exams for a few subjects, probably with the intention either using the higher grade or the perceived prestige of the IGCSE for college or university entry. On the other side of

Looking inwards and outwards

In Malaysia, there are arguments that a national system of education turns out nation builders while an international curriculum may not be appropriate or relevant to the life of the student or to his country. But while the IGCSEs have an international outlook, the programme has been specically developed in each of the more than 120 countries it is offered in to retain local relevance. The CIE states that the programme was created for an international student body and to avoid any cultural bias. This essentially means that students graduate as global citizens with both local and international understanding. In Malaysia, giving the sciences priority over the arts in education has been a national policy that has been in place since the 1970s. The objective of this is to produce sucient graduates for the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM)-driven economy that is part of Vision 2020. To any layman, the observable results of this policy are a large percentage of science-stream graduates, a neglect towards the development of the arts stream which has perhaps led to a retardation in the growth of the Malaysian arts scene and generations of young people who were unable to pursue their true interests because they were encouraged or even forced, for various reasons, to take up sciences instead of the arts. The Education Blueprint has outlined steps to raise the percentage of science graduates, including by raising student interest through new learning approaches and an enhanced curriculum. For Malaysians then, the IGCSEs may seem a more open and comprehensive alternative to education than the national system. As an internationally recognised qualication and an examination system that feeds directly into the A-Levels system, it certainly is a good choice. There is no doubt that Malaysia requires nation builders, but as the country moves towards becoming a developed nation, it also needs people with the ability to conceive and actualise worldencompassing ideas, no matter their area of study. Until the national education system is able to mould students into these global leaders, it seems that international systems such as the IGCSE will remain attractive alternatives.

Knowing your body weight status

P
ARENTS should always provide their children with optimal nutrition and ensure that they are physically t. But how can parents determine if their children are eating right and growing well? Here are some tips to help parents out. childs Energy In and Energy Out are the same, then his weight will stay the same. But, if the amount of your childs Energy In is greater than his Energy Out, he will gain weight. This, if left untreated, can lead to obesity. On the other hand, if the amount of your childs Energy In is less than his Energy Out, he will lose weight. Here is how you measure your childs BMI: BMI FORMULA 1. Measure you childs height and weight 2. Use the formula to calculate his BMI weight (kg) BMI (kg/m2) = 3. Compare your childs BMI to the standard growth chart from height (m) x height (m) the World Health Organization. Boys and girls have different charts so remember to use the appropriate one. 4. Using a pencil, nd your childs age on the horizontal axis of the chart and move vertically up. 5. Find your childs BMI on the vertical axis and move horizontally across to the right of the chart. 6. At the point where these two lines meet, draw a small cross or dot. The region where the small cross or dot falls on indicates your childs growth status.

Energy balance concept

Are energy and calories the same? Energy is released from food and beverage components known as carbohydrate, protein and fat and it is measured in units called calories. Energy balance is a relationship between Energy In (from food and beverage that we ingest) and Energy Out (through physical activities, basal metabolic rate (BMR), digestion and absorption of nutrients in our body). The rst important principle of energy intake must be estimated on the basis of energy out rather than energy in.

Health risks related to unhealthy body weight

Childhood obesity is associated with a higher chance of premature death and disability in adulthood. Overweight and obese children are more likely to stay obese into adulthood and develop NCDs such as diabetes and cardiovascular diseases at a younger age. In addition to increased future risks, obese children experience breathing diculties, increased risks of bone fractures, hypertension and insulin resistance.

Quality, affordable international education

P
ARENTS who are keen on enrolling their children in international schools today are spoilt for choice. However, before choosing the right school for their child, there are a number of factors that they should consider price, syllabus, location as well as the facilities of the institution. Nilai International School (NIS) opened its doors in 2010 and though it is among one of the more affordable international schools in Malaysia, it is not lacking in facilities. NIS provides all the teaching and learning amenities of a world-class international school, with its purpose-built campus on 6.01ha campus. Located in the green suburb of Putra Nilai, it is wholly owned by Nilai Education Sdn Bhd, which also operates Nilai University. Both institutions sit side-byside in a quiet cul-de-sac in this picturesque town. Easily accessible by a number of highways, NIS is just 35 minutes from the Kuala Lumpur city centre and a mere 15 minutes from Seremban and the Kuala Lumpur International Airport. School bus services are available from a number of designated spots, making the commute to NIS relatively stress free. The campus features round-theclock security and it also has boarding facilities. Each classroom features a state-of-the-art smart board, which encourages an interactive learning experience. Its library is well-stocked with books for all age groups to encourage the reading habit among students. Extra-curricular activities are highly encouraged with a range of sporting facilities available on campus, including outdoor courts, a football eld and a swimming pool. The teaching staff members comprise both expatriates and Malaysians who have been handpicked by the administrators to deliver the internationally recognised Cambridge International Examinations (CIE) syllabus. Intakes for NIS are in January, April and September for Primary 1 to Secondary (O-Levels). The Early Years Foundation stage for children aged between three and ve is scheduled to start soon. n Parents who are interested can contact 06-850 2188 or visit www.nis.edu.my

Key to enriching young lives

E
YE Level (formerly known as E.nopi), one of the leading child enrichment programmes in Malaysia, recently held the Eye Level Testimonial Contest to encourage parents to share their thoughts on their childrens journey with Eye Level. Whatever life you are living now, it is essential to give yourself a chance to perform at your top capacity. And that chance derives from learning, says Young Joong Kang, chairman of Eye Level. Eye Level is proud to share testimonies from its students and their parents. Parents name: Dalilah Ismail Students names: Asyraff, Zhafran and Nur Elysha Period of study: one year 10 months My rst son went to Eye Level in 2010 as he was weak in mathematics. We were impressed by the Eye Level mathematics programme and we made the decision to enrol him. It made a great difference as the learning environment is cosy and comfortable. The teachers are very caring and responsible and always go the extra mile in giving me feedback on my sons progress and how he could improve further. Discipline is also high on their list, which I think is very valuable for my childrens development. My son has improved greatly in mathematics and English since he started classes at Eye Level. He is more condent when he speaks English compared to his schoolmates. Seeing my sons achievement, I have enrolled my second son and daughter too. My children always look forward to their Eye Level classes every day. I am grateful to Eye Level for the wonderful experience it has given to my children. Students name: Aditya Gupta Period of study: two years four months Eye Level is different compared to other learning centres. I love Eye Level because it is a perfect educational base for my future. It helps me in school and its fast methods for calculation help every child in different ways. The bright colours in the Eye Level centre are very stimulating but what I really like about Eye Level is the guidance that our teachers provide when we are having diculties with our exercises. The teachers are extremely understanding and helpful. They do not provide the answers directly but encourage us to gure out the right answers. Eye Level is very different because it is fun and most of the time, we forget that we are studying. I enjoy reading the concept comics in the worksheest and the cartoon strips, which bring out the maths concepts behind the stories, in really amusing ways. Parents name: Ho Lee Hong Students name: Jeffrey Tong Kai Period of study: two years 10 months Jeffrey, my eight-year-old son, has been a student of the Eye Level mathematics and English programme since June 2010. Jeffrey was recently diagnosed with ADHD and will begin a sixmonth treatment programme in May. In the beginning, it was really dicult guiding him when he was learning the alphabet and numbers due to his ADHD. I am very grateful to the teachers at Eye Level for their effort and patience with him at all times. Without their help and guidance, he would not be as condent in mathematics and English as he is now. Jeffrey always completes the homework assigned to him on time. He nds the design of the worksheets very eye-catching and the repetition of the worksheets is good in helping him build his mathematics skills and understanding its concepts. Eye Level did not give up on my son. Thank you, Eye Level. n For more information about the Eye Level programme, visit www.myeyelevel.com

Stimulating play-based learning at new school

WHEN recalling their early experiences at school, many parents have memories of very formal classrooms, tables and chairs in rows and an expectation of silence. Curriculums were rigid, facts needed to be memorised, there was little time for asking questions and play was for outside only. Times have changed and following extensive research, there is a wellestablished consensus among early childhood professionals that play is an essential element of developmentally appropriate, high-quality early education programmes. IGB International School (IGBIS) is an International Baccalaureate World School that will be offering education to students from three years of age to Grade 11 starting this year, and Grade 12 from August next year. The Primary Years Programme (PYP) for Early Years will be for children aged three to ve and it will be set in bright, stimulating, open-planned classrooms. There will be opportunities for indoor and outdoor learning, a large covered playground with a bike track, sandpit and a pool. The programme will be delivered by highly experienced, knowledgeable and caring early childhood PYP educators who are skilled in creating a play-based environment that will be relevant, engaging and challenging. Teachers will collaboratively plan units of inquiry that will fascinate and inspire the minds of their young learners. Through the IB Learner Prole, teachers will help students develop the knowledge, concepts, skills, attitudes and action required for future learning. Parent participation will be encouraged and teachers will work in partnership with parents to optimise each childs own unique learning path.

The modern boarding experience at Epsom is part of what makes the school unique and distinct from other regional establishments. Epsom has a long history of offering exible boarding options, as well as weekly boarding; in fact Epsom UK started and developed weekly boarding very signicantly in the United Kingdom.

Having an extension of Epsom College here in Malaysia will mean that parents here will be able to spend more purposeful quality time with their children. The curriculum is based on the fact that there are also day students and weekly boarders who will go home during the weekend. An interesting concept to consider is that there may even be parents from Europe who may choose to send their children to ECiM. Asia is going to drive the next generation forward and Malaysia is very much becoming an education hub, said Tan Sri Tony Fernandes, chair of the board of governors of ECiM, at the media brieng. For Malaysians and Malaysia, having this school is also a wonderful opportunity to provide information on different ways of doing things and to spur on other international and local schools to drive education forward, he said. Epsom College has always had strong links to the medical profession in the UK, which goes hand-in-hand with its outstanding science programme. Historically, Epsom College has its roots in the Victorianera school built for the children of doctors who had died from the diseases they were hoping to cure. Today, Epsom Colleges students are still equipped with the skills, attitudes and knowledge needed to get into top medical schools in the UK as well as other challenging professions globally. Students are still coming to ECiM with similar aspirations but just as in the UK, ECiMs focus will be broader and more developed in other areas. We provide opportunities for children to develop in all sorts of ways. They may come to us with a deep love of science, which we will continue to develop. But at the same time we will ensure they have opportunities to try different things and gure out what their other passions in life might be, and give them the opportunity to develop them through their teenage years and into their adult life, said Smith. The link between Epsom College in the UK and in Malaysia is very strong. It is not a franchised school; ECiM is very much an extension of the UK school, said Martin George, headmaster of ECiM. There will be opportunities for students and staff to collaborate on projects, compete in sports, and even have video conferencing of lessons. We will work to ensure that the link between the schools continues to develop. n To book a campus tour, to meet the heads or for more information about ECiM, contact the registrar, Nicola Harris, at registrar@epsomcollege.edu.my or 03-6211 4488 or visit www.epsomcollege.edu.my

Treating the antisocial child

H
ENDRY and Lisa (not their real names) found it dicult to handle their 10-year-old daughter, May. She had had antisocial problems since her preschool years. Hendry and Lisa never considered their daughters problem serious until she started Year 4 in primary school. May could not distinguish right from wrong. She would sometimes purposely break her siblings and friends stationery and was unfriendly and aggressive towards others. She was also unaware of social or cultural contexts, causing her to disrespect others, including her parents, teachers and elders. The situation became worse when May got older. By then, the number of calls Hendry and Lisa were receiving from the school regarding Mays behavioural issues were increasing day by day. Her school results were also deteriorating although she attended tuition classes.

Covert antisocial behaviours include dishonesty, noncompliance, sneaking or secretly destroying the property of other people. Overt antisocial behaviours include destructive actions against other people such as harassment, verbal or non-verbal abuse and destructive actions against property.
