ttlkbs:

DS finally decided to go TP since he is not strong in English and doesn't like Chinese.

His top 3 choices are Accounting & Finance, Aviation Management & Pharmaceutical Science. Has not decided on the sequence yet since his point is lower than the COP of all courses in TP.
My concern now is which one has a better chance to enter local uni? Better prospect ?

If I may just give my two cents.

If your child is not clear what he is really interested in (and that is reinforced by the diversity in his top 3 choices), it may be wise to consider the option amongst the 3 that gives the highest possible future pathways, be it in further education or future employment. And that option would be A&F.

Aviation Mgt may sound sexy but the potential pathways are rather limited if he subsequently decides the aviation field is not his cup of tea.

Pharmaceutical Science is even narrower in potential pathways if one is really not inclined to get to a minimum of a degree in that field.

With A&F, the core skills you are equipped with allow you to either further yourself in the accounting and related fields like audit and taxation or branch off into banking and investments and even general management eventually. This means your options for both further education and future careers are wider ranging.

Hope this helps.

Cheers!

Hi tiredmummy,


Have you checked out Knowledge Frontier Centre located at Blk 229, Bishan Street 23? The phone number there is 6452-9455. It is an independent, MOE-registered pre-school offering classes from pre-nursery to K2.

You can read more about this pre-school in the Directories Listings.

Hi,


I would just like to add a clarification to your comments differentiating between childcare centres and kindergartens, specifically in the area of subsidies.  If you have a Child Development Account (CDA) under the MCYS Children Development Co-Savings (Baby Bonus) Scheme, you can use the funds in the CDA to pay for the kindergarten fees, if the child attends an approved kindergarten.  As the CDA is a co-savings scheme with the government matching the parents’ savings in the CDA dollar-for-dollar, there is an element of subsidy there even if the child goes to a kindergarten instead of a child care centre, as long as it is an approved kindergarten.

Thank you.
