释义

名词

指从大约上午七时半至大约下午三时的单一班级上课制度，主要用来区别有分上午班和下午班的双班制。

DEFINITION

Noun

A schooling system consisting of a single session from around 7:30 am to around 3 pm. In contrast, a double-session system consists of morning and afternoon sessions.

由来
  • 英语“single session system”的意译。
  • 2009年，小学教育检讨及执行委员会（Primary Education Review and Implementation Committee）建议所有新加坡小学在2010年前改为单班制。
  • 单班制的实施，主要是为了提升全面教育，并增加学生在课程辅助活动的参与度和参与时间。
  • 单班制的上课下课时间有别于双班制，双班制的上午班时间一般从上午7时30分至中午1时30分，下午班时间则是从大约12时30分至6时30分。
  • 虽然教育部鼓励小学实施单班制，但截至2019年仍有五所小学继续双班制的上课制度。不过，在这些学校翻新后，大部分将转至单班制。
ETYMOLOGY
  • The Mandarin term “单班制” is a paraphrase of the English term “single-session system”.
  • In 2009, the Primary Education Review and Implementation Committee recommended that all primary schools in Singapore switch to a single-session system by 2010.
  • The single-session system was implemented mainly to promote a well-rounded education, by giving students more time to participate in co-curricular activities.
  • The start and end times for single-session schools differ from those of double-session schools. For the latter, the morning session typically starts at 7:30 am and ends at 1 pm, while the afternoon session begins at around 1 pm and ends at around 6:30 pm.
  • Although the Ministry of Education has encouraged primary schools to implement the single-session system, as of 2019 there were still five primary schools operating in dual sessions. However, after renovation, most of these schools were expected to switch to a single session.
例句
2010年，福建会馆拨款1,200万余元，在六年里为属校增建课室，让五所小学实现单班制以及资助建设教育部非标准项目的额外设施。（《联合早报》， 6/9/2015）
SAMPLE SENTENCE
In 2010, the Singapore Hokkien Huay Kuan donated more than S$12 million to add more classrooms at its affiliated schools over the course of six years. This allowed five primary schools to adopt the single-session system, and provided them with the funds to build additional facilities beyond the Ministry of Education’s basic requirements.
