UOPA to reduce its points to reduce the workload

# data[].attributes.body
Can HQ consider reducing the total number of points for UOPA such that the total number of points to be attained need not be 100? Eg. 80 pts.

By reducing the points, it will also reduce the number of tasks to be done. The calculation for gold ,silver, bronze can then be counted by percentage of the total points.

Unit Overall Proficiency Award should also look into unit involvement in school events where the limelight can be on the UG cadets. perhaps, an item can be created for the intiatives Section P to feature unit involvement in the sch events, eg. Combined UG Passing Out Parade, Sch Founders Day, National Day Sch Celebrations.

Area AC to be recognised with UOPA points, help the Area with more units when there are few hosting items to share

# data[].attributes.body
Hi, i am from an Area with eight units. The number of hosting opportunities is not quite sufficient to spread across all eight units each year. My AC is also the OC for his unit. Can the unit who has an AC for the Area be also awarded UOPA points? By having this, the unit with the AC need not do the same number of event hosting as the other units in the same Area, thus offloading one event to another unit who needs the points.

it allows cadets to change CCA at the end of Sec.1 & Sec.2. Since it ALLOWs, then there should not be any penalise in the UOPA when we need to discharge/dismiss the cadets.

There are no penalisation in NCC when a cadet change CCA. Can we standardise? Otherwise it is unfair.

The UOPA is to award schools based on overall performance.

Some items listed in UOPA is not easily achieved due to sudden decrease in slots available for visits, difficulty in conducting overseas camps, LEAPS 2.0 and many more.

With the reduced number of CCA sessions we have in school, I think we should look into what can be achieved by the unit due to these constraints.

With number of cadets dwindling by the year and with LEAPS 2.0, schools should not be penalized if they are not able to maintain the minimum % required as other UGs also need to hit that minimum %. If we are just hitting the minimum just for points, we will have cadets who will eventually lose interest and take advantage of the LEAPS 2.0 and change CCAs as and when they like. This will eventually affect our UOPA points, which is unfair.

I think some items in Section P should be removed and more points should be awarded for courses with badges.

Why do we still do assessment of units?
