Integrated Programme (IP)

[zac's mum]

(Edit: deleted the link to RGS application page. Read “posted to another secondary school under DSA”) cos saw “posted” and thought S1 posting 🙄


If the child has just started Y1 it’s still early days; why not give some time to settle in?

If the child is in Y2 then can apply like all the other kids who are applying. U can check with the target schools directly whether IP kids can apply or not. But how would the child know whether the target school is “more suitable” or not? Unless u avoid similar profile type of schools (SAP; religious).

I think if you step back and look at everything that is going on in the education landscape (and society in general), it is quite obvious why the IP transfers are discouraged.


Whether they are not allowed (reading a few web pages, I wouldn’t conclude that they are), allowed if A, B, or C (if so) but not if X, Y, or Z, etc - I don’t know. But it would be easy to see why some circumstances are probably viewed more favourably than others.

Hi may I check where I can buy references books/ practise materials for ACSI IP year 1 for the various subjects?


It seems not so many books in Polular Bookstore suit for IP students.

Thank you!:)

Ask school teachers to suggest. They will tell you which books and where to get extra questions. Some may even give students the extra questions.

About 6% to 7% of Integrated Programme students leave before completing six years: MOE

https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/parenting-education/about-6-to-7-per-cent-of-integrated-programme-students-leave-before-completing-the-six-years-moe

Summary:

• Some Integrated Programme students switch to O-levels, polytechnics, or overseas schools due to academic pressure or differing learning preferences.
• Demand for IP remains high, with about 4,300 applying in 2024’s Secondary 1 posting exercise, despite some students leaving.
• MOE says that IP suits self-directed learners; O-levels may better suit those preferring structured learning with clear milestones.
