For those with an eye out for polytechnic education after Institute of Technical Education (ITE). You maybe interested in the questions answered in this askST segment.
Questions Asked:
- How many people applied for the local universities last year and how many were admitted?
- What proportion of A-level and polytechnic cohorts enrol in the six local universities every year? Does MOE limit the number of university places for polytechnic graduates because they are expected to start working after completing their diplomas?
- For two years, my son applied for a place in computing. Despite having a good Grade Point Average (GPA), he was unable to get a place. Can MOE consider offering more places in popular courses such as computing?
