What is the educational model in Singapore? Singapore's education system is a split system.
The primary school system is six years. At the end of the fourth grade, students were diverted for the first time. According to the students' academic achievements in the first four years, it is necessary to choose the standard courses or basic courses of four subjects (English, mother tongue, mathematics and science). International students can pass the Unified Entrance Examination (AEIS) in the second to fifth grades of primary schools. If they pass the exam, they can be admitted to government schools according to the number of vacancies. International students are not allowed to attend classes in the first and sixth grades of primary school.
The second diversion is to divide students into three parts through the Unified Primary School Graduation Examination (PSLE) when they graduate from primary school for six years. Middle school has a 4-year (express) or 5-year (slow) system. This kind of diversion is different from the fast class, middle class and slow class that we usually understand as the unit of achievement. Because the learning contents of these three courses are different, students take different graduation exams and enter higher schools.
The third diversion happened when the students graduated from middle school, and they passed the Cambridge O-level exam. Four-year special classes and express classes need to take the O-level exam after graduation, and the results will determine the promotion to junior college and science and engineering. The general academic system is five years. In the fourth year, I will take the N-level exam. After passing, I will take the O-level exam in Secondary Five and enter junior college or science and engineering. After taking the N-level exam, students in the craft class can directly enter the technical college.
Quick course
After graduating from primary school, most students go to middle school for a four-year crash course, and then go to Cambridge, England to take the O-level exam. Singapore-Cambridge general education level examination certificate, abbreviated as GCE' o' level. According to the results and personal wishes, you can enter junior college, science and engineering or technical school. However, before entering higher education every academic year, students' courses are generally adjusted according to their academic performance throughout the year. For example, students who take accelerated courses may be relegated or downgraded to general academic courses, and students who take general academic courses may be promoted to accelerated courses because of their outstanding academic performance.
General academic courses
After graduating from primary school, some students go to middle school to study general academic courses for four years. Four years later, they took the Singapore-Cambridge N-level exam. According to your grades or personal wishes, you can enter the fifth grade of middle school (you can take GCE' o' level) or the preparatory course of polytechnic or enter the polytechnic education college.
General craft course
After the primary school graduation exam, a small number of students go to middle school for four years of general craft courses, and then go to Cambridge, England to take the N-level exam four years later, and then enter the Institute of Technology Education.
