My Approach to Private Tuition

The Singapore government and various Members of Parliament have voiced concerns about private tuition. Many have highlighted the stresses and pressures students are facing at school and have wondered if we are pushing our students too hard.

I believe that having private tuition is a personal choice that the student and parent must decide on their own. My students have benefited from private (one to one) home tuition. They have gained confidence tackling the difficult concepts presented to them, and have benefited from the personalized attention that one to one tuition provides.

At school or at tuition centres, it is difficult to give each and every student such individualized, personal attention. That is where home tutors like myself come in. I strongly believe that well-qualified tutors like myself have a role to play in helping students strengthen their academic foundations and achieve better grades.

My aim is to make the learning experience a pleasant and enriching experience for all my students.

Singapore’s polytechnic graduates last year had improved job and salary prospects compared to previous cohorts

24 January 2020

According to the latest graduate employment survey, Singapore’s polytechnic graduates last year had improved job and salary prospects compared to previous cohorts.

For instance, 90.7 per cent of polytechnic graduates who entered the workforce last year found permanent, freelance or part-time jobs within six months of graduation.

The proportion of graduates who were unemployed fell from 10.5 per cent in 2018 to 9.3 per cent last year, while the percentage of those working in part-time or temporary jobs also fell, from 26.4 per cent to 25.5 per cent.

Health sciences graduates continued to earn the highest median gross monthly pay, at $2,600 last year. Engineering graduates were second with a salary of $2,470.

Senior Minister of State for Trade and Industry and Education Chee Hong Tat said in a Facebook post on Tuesday that the results of the survey were encouraging.

Many more options now available to Institute of Technical Education students

by

23 January 2020

Students at the Institute of Technical Education will be getting more opportunities to go beyond an ITE certification as well as attain a diploma.

ITE students now have the chance to engage in the polytechnic route, as well as the opportunity to pursue the work-study diploma programme.

Under the work-study diploma programme, which typically lasts between two and a half to three years, about 70 per cent of curriculum time is conducted at the workplace, and the rest at ITE.

By the year 2025, there should be about 40 work-study diplomas offered, collectively taking in about 1,000 students a year.

ITE chief executive Low Khah Gek recently laid out ITE’s sixth strategic road map, or five-year plan. The previous road map, laid out in 2015 and which coincided with the launch of the national SkillsFuture movement, marked a shift from a technical skills-based education to one that centres more on a student’s career. This year’s plan aims to expand on the previous one, but it will also focus on enabling career mobility and adapting to changes in the industry.

More secondary school leavers are opting to enrol in the polytechnics

by

21 January 2020

According to the Ministry of Education, in the past few years, slightly more than half of the secondary school-leaving-age cohort enrolled in polytechnics.

Of the secondary school leaving cohort, about 29 per cent enrolled in JCs and Millennia Institute, which offers a three-year programme leading to the A levels.

The Ministry of Education has planned for 22,000 places to be made available this year in the five polytechnics, namely Ngee Ann, Nanyang, Temasek, Republic and Singapore polytechnics. Of these, 4,400 of the places would go to students who had applied through the Early Admissions Exercise.

School leavers who are keen on the polytechnic route say that the diploma pathway has, in recent years, become more attractive as it offers courses that prepare them for careers in emerging industries and fields where there is a high demand for workers.

National University of Singapore Lifelong Learners’ programme

by

20 January 2020

The National University of Singapore Lifelong Learners’ programme is off to a good start this year.

In the first semester of the latest academic year which began last August, 238 NUS alumni took up courses.

The programme is part of a push by NUS to help its alumni keep up with developments and disruptions in the workplace brought about by globalisation and technology.

Lifelong Learners’ course participants can obtain graduate certificates after completing a certain combination of credit-bearing modules and, in some cases, could work towards qualifications like graduate diplomas, or even master’s degrees.

An NUS spokesman said popular courses among alumni are mainly in data analytics. Topics include machine learning, data structures and algorithms, data visualisation and Internet of Things.

Ngee Ann Polytechnic to introduce three new courses

by

20 January 2020

Ngee Ann Polytechnic will introduce three new courses, starting from the new academic year.

The Diploma in Community Development is a course designed to support the growing social service sector, in which students will be taught design thinking and social innovation skills. This course combines curricula from management, psychology and entrepreneurship.

The Diploma in Design merges existing courses in product design with sustainable urban design and engineering, and aims to provide students with the opportunity to work on real-world projects that are closely tied with industrial and community partners.

The Diploma in Media Post-Production is a course which will equip students with useful storytelling and content creation skills. The diploma combines courses on audio-visual technology and visual effects, gearing students for potential careers in media production, or in the arts and entertainment industry.

Engineering students from Singapore Polytechnic have the chance to study university level modules

by

17 January 2020

Engineering students from Singapore Polytechnic will have the opportunity to take modules from the National University of Singapore and the Singapore University of Technology and Design during their course of study.

These university-level modules will count towards a student’s graduation requirements in Singapore Polytechnic.

To be eligible for the programme, students need a grade point average of 3.6 out of 4 at the end of their first year of polytechnic studies, and be selected through an interview. Students should also preferably have a minimum GCE O-level score of C6 for Additional Mathematics.

SP’s partnership with SUTD is called the SP-SUTD Pathway Programme, and will allow up to 20 students to complete the regular SP curriculum in about five semesters, instead of the usual six.

In SP’s tie-up with NUS, up to 20 students will be able to take NUS modules in the final semester of their polytechnic studies.

Singapore University of Technology and Design launches undergraduate degree in design and artificial intelligence

by

15 January 2020

The Singapore University of Technology and Design has launched a new undergraduate degree in design and artificial intelligence, in order to meet a growing demand for people who are able to combine skills in design innovation with technology and predictive modelling.

The new degree programme will last three and a half years, and will take in students this academic year, which starts in May.

Students in this course will be exposed to areas of design such as user interface/user experience, product, systems, built environment, and data-driven design. They will also learn to use AI technologies and algorithms to produce better design and applications.

Graduates of this programme will be able to work as data scientists and data visualisation specialists in industries such as urban planning, product design and telecommunications.

The entry requirements for the new programme are the same as for its other four degrees. Generally, students should be competent in mathematics and the sciences, namely physics or chemistry.

The distinction between knowledge and skills in education

by

14 January 2020

In 2018, when the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) surveyed 15-year-olds around the world on their degree aspirations, Singapore had the highest proportion of students wanting to go to university for higher education.

The Paris-based think-tank’s education and skills chief Andreas Schleicher says that the aspirations of young Singaporeans are understandable. But Mr Schleicher also says employers here do not necessarily recognise and pay for better skills. Additionally, he cautions that just because someone has a degree, it does not mean he or she is highly skilled.

Singapore, he said, should not only aim to raise the level of skills among its population, but also look at how to use its skilled and talented workforce better.

He says: “The single most important finding from our analysis is, in fact, that the knowledge economy no longer pays you for what you know. Google knows everything these days. The knowledge economy pays you for what you can do with what you know. Success is no longer about reproducing content knowledge, but about extrapolating from what we know and applying that knowledge to novel situations.”
