Poly to JC...still possible?
-
To clarify, your son can still join a jc via the upcoming PAE (tentatively from 22 to 24 November) using his last year's O level results provided he is a Singaporean/Singapore PR and has never enrolled in a jc before via the PAE or JAE. He also has to fulfill the age criteria for jc admission which is under 19 years of age as at Ist January of the intended admission year. He can apply via the PAE first without quiting the polytechnic. After admission to a jc via the PAE, he can then quit the polytechnic but please note that he will still have to take part in the JAE next year (still using his O level results) for admission to jc after the first 3 months.
A reply to my father's letter to the MoE.
Somehow, the prospect of entering a JC now is quite weak. Perhaps it is because I had horrible results for my 1st term at Poly, and now doing horribly... -

I was wondering if somebody itchy hand and did something. It happened to another thread as well and would be mysteriously bumped up to the top 50 topics when nobody posted or edited. -

some people may be good in hands on so they may apply for poly since for my course, there are alot of practical like almost 6hrs of practical per week last semester
whereas for jc, it is more suited for the students who like theory and theory so they apply for it -
there have been many JC students switch to poly after their 1st year...
some even switch to poly after their 2nd year -

some advice to u when switching to JC. Prepare to study very very very hard, i have some frens with me this year and they suffered quite abit.. So be very prepared to sleep with ur books =D

A levels is suitable if you are better at theoretic stuffs. If you cannot handle studying from books or lecture notes for hours, I suggest you remain in poly. Besides, if u take science in A levels, you have the nasty A level practicals sprinkled throughout your 2 years there.
If you can't cope in poly, I advise you to remain in poly as the jc cirriculum is no joke. Besides, if you do not do well for your A levels to qualify for university, you end up with a bad A level result slip which is not going to net you a decent job compared to if you had a decent diploma. -

it is providing different routes for different people..
but its the requirements that are making it biased. -
