According to the latest graduate employment survey recently released by SkillsFuture Singapore (SSG), about half of fresh graduates from Singapore’s private education institutions found full-time work within six months of completing their examinations.

Overall, 85.3 per cent of private university graduates found work, including part-time or freelance jobs.

However, the survey continued to find that job prospects for PEI graduates lag behind their peers from autonomous universities. The overall employment rate for fresh graduates from the 2021 cohort in autonomous universities was 94.4 per cent while the full-time permanent employment rate was 84 per cent.

The poll also showed that the median gross monthly salary of PEI fresh graduates in full-time jobs was $2,989.

Education Minister Chan Chun Sing has revealed that about 45 per cent of pupils who joined the Gifted Education Programme (GEP) over the last five years live in Housing Board flats. In addition, the pupils selected for the GEP came from 60 per cent of Singapore’s primary schools.

Mr Chan said that schools offer a range of programmes for the diverse aptitudes and learning needs of their students, including various learning support programmes for low-progress students, as well as the GEP and school-based provisions for high ability learners in primary schools.

The GEP caters to the needs of intellectually gifted students. Pupils are identified for the programme through a two-stage exercise in Primary 3 and selected pupils are invited to join it in Primary 4.

Five of Singapore’s university student unions have formed a new network called the Inter-University Network in order to collectively tackle issues concerning local undergraduates.

The network comprises the student union leaders from the National University of Singapore, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore Management University and the Singapore University of Technology and Design, as well as Yale-NUS College. The network aims to bring the universities together and represent, protect and empower the interests of undergraduates and young people on a national level.

The Singapore University of Social Sciences and the Singapore Institute of Technology are not formally involved in the network as they do not have student unions, but the network will work with students from those two universities, beginning with its first initiative, UCare, which aims to understand mental health stressors among undergraduates. It will work with clubs and interest groups at the universities to look at existing prevention and intervention support for mental health problems, as well as identify possible gaps in these support systems.

The Ministry of Defence and Nanyang Technological University have launched a new Digital Work-Learn Scheme to train selected full-time national servicemen in the area of digital defence.

The NSFs participating in the scheme will serve as digital specialists under the Singapore Armed Forces’s newly established Digital and Intelligence Service (DIS) for four years. They will develop artificial intelligence applications and perform software engineering tasks in support of real-world military operations.

These servicemen can take up modules to earn academic credits that count towards getting a degree in data science and AI, computer science or computer engineering. They will attend classes at NTU for one semester every year to prepare them for their roles in operational units.
