All About Polytechnics

different course would have different requirement. some may require aptitude test (my kiddo going for one this sat for TP (aviation management). some may just shortlist you for interview.

as a parent, we really have to keep up with the changes.

there is EAE, PFP and direct admission for poly now.
son’s classmate has EAE to do PFP in the poly…the classmate would have to pass English and Math. in a way, it’s definitely less stressful. it took me some time to digest this info.

with all this EAE and PFP thing, it's really confusing.

for PFP, it has to be A2 minimum for every subject to get below 11 points for NA students

what about EAE?
some of son classmates last year (2016) secured EAE for certain courses into Ngee Ann and SP. but do students who wish to apply for EAE come from Express stream?

As a parent of two kids, issues affecting Polytechnic students and graduates are important issues to me because, at this moment, I still lie behind the Rawlsian veil. I am concerned that if my children do not qualify for a seat in a local university and end up studying in a Polytechnic/ITE, they will face an uncertain future with the gig economy.

I think many parents have this fear but they are too ashamed to admit it because it hurts the feelings of 50% of their friends. Also, there is nothing fundamentally wrong with turning out average. It's only wrong in a place like Singapore.

I echoed my fears and shared my deepest concerns with a friend I know, whom in my opinion, is best positioned to address my fears because he is very successful in business, lectured in polytechnics, and is intimately close with the problem at hand. He is a straight-talking fellow to add.

In summary, the conversation left me more shaken than before.

I asked my friend, why not put two and two together and have Singapore's startup eco-system draw their recruits primarily from Polytechnics, specifically poly graduates who are not going into local universities, instead of waging a price war for local university graduates?

I know International Business in ngee Ann poly is one of the hardest to get into, a lot of single pointers there.
