More industry immersion and flexible course offerings on the cards for poly and ITE students: Maliki

SINGAPORE - Students at polytechnics and the Institute of Technical Education will be getting more chances for industry immersion before graduation.

These latest changes are the result of a review of Singapore's polytechnic and ITE education led by Dr Maliki that began in January last year. He also said students will get an updated curriculum for life skills, focusing on skills that they will need for life and work in an increasingly complex world.

Dr Maliki said:"With the resumption of travel arrangements in the future, we continue to aim for 70 per cent of our students in Institutes of Higher learning to participate in overseas exposure programmes, so that they are able to engage Asia and the region in particular. Dr Maliki added that the Ministry of Education will provide more flexibility in ITE and polytechnic education, as Singapore"moves away from a one-size fits all system".and work-study programmes that provide an"apprentice mode of training", he said.

He also said MOE would be working to increase pastoral support for students who have familial or other stresses through more training for personal tutors at ITE and the polytechnics.Remote video URL
