Mind you For Poly grad is in fact harder you have to be TOP not just in the class also in Whole department.
This debate all along been discuss in Poly as Poly students not say happy on this feel un fair,
SO here come what STI this UNI, is aim for Poly students.
Do note, Gov DON'T LIKE too much " smart people " IF everyone can go JC , like that who do the low end jobs?
This is why I keep say , those O levels students can go JC better go JC, study hard for just 2 years go UNI at least continue work hard got a degree , the rest is all depend individuals BUT At least your education profile is there.
Actually what you are saying is like 7+3 equals 10 and I am saying 6+4 is also equal to 10. Going Poly is also good and a smart alternative if you are not that academically inclined. It definitively gives you a huge edge over the A level folks who can’t get into uni.
Go the JC route only if your intent is and you can get into uni. Else you end up disadvantaged and the Poly folks have a better head start than you.
And Poly folks can have transfer credits to many distinguished universities abroad. Not just must die die study in Singapore. They normally just take one or two years to finish their degrees
That’s my final say on this matter.

Ha.. I interpreted the statement "it will be unthinkable that students would graduate with a degree in engineering..." as next thing, no one want to be engineering grad.. Go be a business/finance/law grad got much more prospects...
Be it job wise, or be it to be MP..
1. I have served the nation in a combat unit for 2.5 + 10 years. I had fulfilled my duty as a citizen, but has the country do it's part for me?
2. I don't know where the threat of CCP is, but I know the threat of CECA is already at my doorsteps
3. I had been called a CCP, JHK, Pinoy, but they never called me a CECA..

Is not true, JC grad > Nus/NTU , progress to Oversea establish UNI not your " SIM , USIM which a lot Poly go because they cannot go NUS/NTU "
This is why end of the day JC grad have upper hand, Stop bluffing yourself, just look around you in your Work place, or if you work in Big corporation like Google Inc, DBS , Whatever see those high up there earn at least 10k above per month ALL mostly JC grad
I never say Poly grad cannot make it BUT TAKE LONGER . This is why in the early stage , those O levels student IF want to acheive BIG better go JC route if you can.

That is Obviously, those go JC route know themselves have to keep study hard for 2 years progress to NUS/NTU
Like my Cousin, go JC study hard >NUS business > internship ,
After finish her degree, straight got job , that company she inter, want to hire her.
What I know now she earn more than Poly grad in that company. She now like managed got a team of poly grad under her and her top is all former JC grad just like her.

I like your argument, but I still feel going to a JC and thence into uni. is the way to go.....we can agree to disagree......

Actually there is no disagreement. What I postulated is that those who set their sights on going to JC had better then go to Uni. If they can't make it to uni or have no interest in pursuing a uni education, then they are way better having a polytechnic education, which is way more practical than a 2 yr JC academic course

Go JC route only if the student is academically inclined. If not, don't force.
Not for everyone. The student has to know his/her own inclinations and interest.
Success in life does not depend on a degree only. There are so many different ways. But if you only want a corporate (or gahmen sector) job where you plan to be an employee all your life and climb the corporate ladder, then yes, probably a degree has an advantage.
But why join the rat race? Even if you win, you are still a rat (some famous actress said this). Better to do things your own way. That's freedom and real success.

Nope. These were words said by smelly oppies...that they would vote for even a monkey than a PAP candidate.
Oh well, no monkey stood for election. But RK did and you buggers voted for her. Song bo? Lol!
