So, what lies ahead for our students who have just received their 'O' Level qualification recently? Regardless what results the child have achieved, be rest assured that there are different educational paths that are still available for your child. Most importantly is that we remind each other to continue to look ahead with hope and aspiration to pursue our area of interests.
(a) Pursuing Studies at Tertiary Education
In fact many of our students have come to us for advice during this crucial week of JAE registration. For those who are not familiar with JAE, it stands for Joint Admissions Exercise and it's the next step for our 'O' level graduates to register themselves for Junior Colleges (JCs), Millennia Institute (MI), Polytechnics or the Institute of Technical Education (ITE).
So for those who are still in the midst of considering the courses to pursue, perhaps, you should browse through the catalogues that your teachers had passed to you ......OR simply to do your own research online. If you could still remember during one of the character and education lessons, your form teacher would have introduced you to the Education & Career Guidance portal at ecareer.sg to help students clarify their interests and aptitudes, as well as to a range of suitable career possibilities.
(b) Pursuing Skills Upgrade beyond Tertiary Education
As for those who have graduated for some time and looking for opportunities to upgrade themselves, there's good news too! Recently, a new centralised online course directory, offering quick access to information on some 250 part-time Continuing Education and Training (CET) at www.getcet.sg/courses by the publicly-funded universities, polytechnics and ITE, is now available to help individuals make well-informed choices in education, training and careers. This would enable the workforce in Singapore to upgrade and progress throughout their working lives, and develop the skills needed to access new opportunities in a changing economy.
So why not give it a try to refresh and recharge yourselves by pursuing a part-time or full-time course in your area of interest? After all, learning doesn't stop when you graduate .
Just as the famous saying goes,
“Education is the kindling of a flame, not the filling of a vessel.” - Socrates
