School Project. Poly VS JC

Where you come from doesnt matter. What matters most is you found a job you are passionate in and you get yourself a good pay. Of course, being your own boss is even better.

Much of it is just following the trend, I believe.

It's come to the point where it's "cool" to go to a poly rather than a JC. I believe that initially it was an honest intention by someone to do what was right for them, but as usual the world thinks that daring to be different alone makes them cool, and they follow suit.

Personally, between JC and poly I would still rather opt for JC.

However in reality... I'm going to neither!

Nowadays, it is also not easy to study in JC.

Even for the average joe, they need to do general paper, mother tongue, 3 H2 subjects, 1 H1 subject + project work (year long).

The better students may want to take 4 H2 subjects or even H3 subjects which are sometimes not offered in college and they have to went all the way down to NUS to study.

Correct me if I am wrong...but there HAS been an increasing trend whereby people are going in to poly with the intention of going to UNI.

In fact, there are TONs of people who can make it to very good JC choosing to go to poly instead.

Why do you think that it is more or less a requirement for a person to score 20 points at the most for their L1B4 just to get into poly?

Getting a degree is starting to be seen as a basic educational level requirement before you proceed to work.

Denying more place to poly students now is going to be a stupid thing in times to come.

Both system is producing students who deserve a place in uni...

the worse part is some jc students still have a misconception of poly students that they are very free and their school work is not as tough as their's...
