One of the main aims of the Singapore's education system is to help students to discover their talents
and develop a passion for learning.
During secondary education, which lasts four to five years, students have opportunities to take
various courses, build their strengths and develop their talents in both academic and non-academic areas.
For example, after passing standardized examinations, students can enrol on courses in specialized
independent schools such as NUS High School of Mathematics and Science, Singapore Sports School,
School of the Arts, or School of Science and Technology. They can further their study and interests at
junior colleges and polytechnics through direct admission. These are flexible ways that allow students to
continue their education journey at a post-secondary institution.
After leaving secondary school, students can pursue either pre-university education or technical
education. A pre-university course provides students with essential skills and knowledge for higher
education. They can realize their potential through a wide range of subjects from academic areas such as
Humanities, Arts, Languages, Mathematics, and Science. Alternatively, technical education, through
collaboration with companies and other organizations, can equip students with professional, technical
skills and working experience. They can select engineering, technical, business or service skills areas to
prepare themselves for their work environment.

Script:
Having graduated from high school, many school-leavers are looking to start a new chapter of
their lives. At higher education or vocational schools, independence is needed to be successful in
pursuing further education. Here are some independence skills that you should have before
leaving high school.
In most universities, colleges or vocational schools, it is the students who choose their classes and
manage their own schedule and time. Students should take responsibility for themselves as there
are neither parents nor teachers reminding them to go to classes or do their homework. Getting
into the habit of making a to-do-list is useful. You can also use a calendar to keep track of what
you have to do and when.
As students get more mature, they are encouraged to be more independent in their learning.
Teachers expect students to learn by themselves with minimal guidance. Being independent
learners also means being able to motivate yourself and evaluate your own performance.
It's also important that students know how to manage their finance. You can set a monthly budget
and choose which to spend money on first. Whether you get allowances from your family or have
a part-time job, managing your money is essential for your journey ahead.
