Record number of students going to polys.
By Jane Ng;
A RECORD number of student leavers fresh off the O-level boat have made it to the polytechnics this year.
And, continuing a trend that began a few years ago, many of these poly students did well enough in the O-levels to have gone to a Junior Colleage(JC), but chose a polytechnic education instead.
About 20,640 of these school leavers have been posted to the five polytechnics, where they will earn diplomas in three years. The intake is 800 more than last year.
The new high comes despite there having been fewer O-level candidates last year than in 2007.
As a consequence of that dip, the number posted to the polytechnics, JCs, Millennia Institute(MI) and the Institutes of Technical Education(ITE) under the Education Ministry’s Joint Admissions Exercise was also smaller.
The polytechnics’ also shrank the overall intake for the JCs, and also for MI, where students take the A-levels after 3 years.
One school leaver contributing to the tilt in favour of the polys is former Anderson Secondary student Ranjini Visvalingam, 17, who scored 6 points in her O-levels. She could have made it to just about any JC, but opted for Republic Polytechnic(RP)’s biomedical science course.
Noting that her friends have queried her choice of a polytechic over the more academic JC track, she said: “But i’ve already decided what i want to do- get an advance diploma in biomedical sciences and go on to Monash for a degree- so there is no need to go to a JC.”
Melbourne’s Monash University has a programme with RP where students get on a fast track to a degree.
In response to the demand, the five polys have opened up 25,700 places, about 700 more than last year.
NP raised its number of vacancies by 150 to 5,250.
RP’s principal Yeo Li Pheow has seen a 60 percent leap in applicants who made the poly- the newest among the five- their first choice.
And they are coming in with stronger grades too.
“It’s definitely a good sign for polys that students are eligible for JC choose to go to the polys. It’s a personal choice they make,” He said.
Among the 18 JCs, the high-end ones have had no change in intake size, though a few like Serangoon and Tampines, have smaller intake this year.
The heads of JCs and MI contacted are not overly concerned that their schools now seem less popular.
MI’s Tan Chor Pang said a core of students will always pick the A-level route, which is still regarded as better preparation for higher education.
But he conceded that the JCs and MI can do more to court potential students; the polys, he said, “are more aggressice and define their courses in a very attractive way, being up to date and relevant to industry. Students are attracted to that”.
He added that this year’s single intake for JCs might have also shrunk th demand for JCs.
Previously, students admitted provisionally could try out JC life untill the O-level results came out in march, but “in the absence of the first three months of JC, there is no longer a natural platform to experience JC education”, he said.
Ms Helen Choo, the principal of the mid-tier Tampines JC, said students may be going to the polys because they are focused and know what they want, be it mass communications, or hospitality studies.
JCs’ future intakes could be uncertain, she said, given declining enrolment resulting from a declining birth rate and an explosion of choices for school leavers.
Yishun JC, on the other hand, took in slightly more students this year, just under 600.
Vice-principal Wong Mun Wah said the JC’s efforts at selling itself as a ‘value-added’ school have paid off, as has the flexibility in subject combinations that it gives its students.
