A chat with a world class economist...Jia Yi!

By
It is always great to hear how students are getting on as they progress through life, moving on to bigger and better things... Many of our students at GIS go on to study at some of the world's best universities and it was wonderful to hear from Jia Yi Lim, who recently moved from Malaysia to the USA and is now settling into life at Harvard University. When in Year 13, Jia Yi was over-the-moon to have received offers from Harvard, Stanford and Cambridge ...having only made 3 applications! Harvard was chosen in the end, but it was certainly a decision which took considerable time, a lot of thought and careful deliberation. In only her first semester at Harvard, Jia Yi is loving life. Having been fortunate enough to have taught her A Level Economics as well as enjoy watching her debate and witnessed her incredible community service work ( Project Smile ), I thought I knew what Jia Yi was capable of. However, her contributions so far at Harvard, as I am sure you'll agree, a...

Get ahead this summer - Read

By
The summer provides AS students the perfect opportunity to set themselves apart from other students and to get ahead, making their life that little bit easier for the A2 year. This might be in terms of being prepared for the A2 course but also for the all important university applications process, and the subsequent interviews... One excellent way students will set themselves apart is through reading. Universities say they want to see applicants reading relevant books that show they have an interest in the subject they wish to study. Imagine applying to do an economics degree having not read any books! It is not just about reading anything, it is about what you have read. So, to help you we have tried to provide you with some reading at various levels that should enable you to choose the appropriate books for you this summer. Don't forget, being up to date in terms of news and opinion is also critical so make sure you check out the further reading recommended in...

The Economics of Attendance: The key to examination success?

By
In the bustling world of academics where examinations, assignments, homework and extracurricular activities all clamour for your time and attention, it’s easy to underestimate the power of a seemingly simple act: showing up . A dig into the research has led me to believe that there is so much more to the relationship between attendance and academic achievement than the obvious and strong positive correlation we often talk about here in GIS. A full class! Where IGCSE and A-level subject results are concerned, it seems that attendance is way more than just a formality; it's a strategic investment with very tangible returns. Plenty of studies point towards this; a recent UK government blog post called " Why is school attendance so important and what are the risks of missing a day? " is very clear in its answer: attendance is paramount and the risks of missing a day are high! Every day at school is crucial and missed days can accumulate rapidly according to the article, whic...
