I refer to the report, ‘Sec 5 route not best for all: Ng Eng Hen’ (Jan 12). On Jan 13, a senior staff member of my child’s school, Jurongville Secondary, gathered the Secondary 5 students and spoke to them about the report.
He told them not to waste another year in Secondary 5 and urged them to apply to the Institute of Technical Education (ITE), based on rough calculations of what their O-level score might be…
I am disappointed that the school chose to dissuade my child and his schoolmates whose earnest desire is to try the O-level route.
