For the newly merged Junior Colleges in Singapore, preparations are well underway for the new school year in 2019.
New facilities have been developed, and the merged junior colleges have even taken the effort to design new school uniforms.
For some classes, the lecture notes consist of input from teachers from the two underlying junior colleges.
The mergers of the eight colleges were announced by the Ministry of Education in April last year as a response to Singapore’s declining birth rate.
The merged junior colleges have endeavoured to retain some of the elements special to each JC, such as school colours and programmes.
The JCs have also expanded their Co-Curricular Activity offerings.
