        Now all merge into Anderson Jc, so those staying in tampines have to travel down to Anderson Jc, far

              8 JCs merge to 4, not 8 to 1.

                    Never say after merger, got downsize or not. If there’s downsizing, intake will drop…


                    More O level grads to be channelled to polytechnics is it huh? Just a shift of the bell curve, your B3 becomes B4.

                      Says no teachers or staff will be retrenched. I assume cohort size will also increase slightly (?).

                      I think more O level grads (and better quality ones) moving towards polytechnics (mainly by choice) have been happening for a number of years already. The COP of the polytechnic courses have been dropping gradually and the number of courses offered by our polytechnics have also increased.
