Dear all,
This year, PCMI Bangka Belitung and DISPORA
Propinsi are really proud to see Bangka Belitung youths’ passion in participating
PPAN selection of Bangka Belitung 2014. Moreover, during 4 days we had a really great
chance to meet great potentials from all regions in Bangka Belitung. In
short, we are glad to have those stunning participants in the selection.
In this year’s selection, we set many aspects to
score such as individual insight, personality, communication, English skill
(both written and spoken), Focus group discussion (FGD) and cultural skill as
well. Also, we developed some new assessment components especially for group
assessment such as post program activity presentation, photo exhibition and
group cultural performance. Moreover, during the interview sessions (English
skill, personality, post program activity project and commitment) we asked the
juries to give us top 2 nominees for each program.
Here we also would like to let you know that all the team carried out three
times review before they finally decided the result of the selection.
In the first review, the team examined the result of general assessments. In
this step, they examined whether the top 2 recommended nominees for each
program were listed in the short list or not. As the result, 50% of recommended
nominees were listed in short list for each program. To make it more accurate,
the team carried out the second review.
In the 2nd review, all the score were distributed and examined
based on the programs’ main characteristics because as we have already known
that each program requires different characters. For instance, SSEAYP requires
higher portion for cultural skill than AIYEP does. Whereas, AIYEP requires higher
portion for English skill, etc. So then, the score was tabulated based on
specific percentage.
Here is the illustration of the tabulation:
Candidate X chose SSEAYP and AIYEP.

The table shows that candidate X got higher score in AIYEP (390) than he did in
SSEAYP (380) but again the team would consider the higher rank for this
candidate. He might be in the 2nd rank for SSEAYP but in the 4th
rank for AIYEP (even though he got a higher score in AIYEP) so, the team put him in 2nd rank for
SSEAYP candidates and this means that the candidate would be nominated as a runner up
in SSEAYP.
After that, the team proceeded to the 3rd
review. In this step, the team combined the result and consulted the psychological test
as well as physical test result. If it's needed, the team would confirm some specific things
to the candidate regarding the result of the 3rd review by sms,
phone or a face-to-face meeting.
Finally, after such a long and breathtaking process as
explained above, we (PCMI and DISPORA Propinsi Bangka Belitung) proudly inform
the official result of International Youth Exchange Program Selection (PPAN) of
Bangka Belitung 2014.
We proudly announce The top 5 candidates for each program as follows:
