SINGAPORE - With a better understanding of their study and career aspirations and encouraged by the increasing number of polytechnic graduates making it to the local universities, more O-level school leavers are taking the polytechnic route.
The Ministry of Education (MOE) said that of the 20,300 candidates posted to a post-secondary educational institution last year via the Joint Admissions Exercise, 52 per cent were posted to the five polytechnics here. This is a record in recent years.
Another 38 per cent were given places in the junior colleges (JCs) and Millennia Institute, a figure that did not account for those enrolled in the six-year Integrated Programme, where students skip the O levels and go straight to JC1.
