regarding ite's environment, i can tell you guys, unless you're
really motivated to study ( and i mean REALLY ), it would be easy
to get into poly despite the competition..
i was from ite higher nitec, finished my o lvls a couple of years
ago, applied for poly but was ultimately rejected due to the inflow
of jc students coming in, as my grades werent the best ( just
average ), i was unable to get into any courses at all.
spent a year in ite, realised that the teachers/lecturers there
usually "see face" before making decisions of grades, discipline
etc.
theres this classmate of mine, every morning buy mac breakfast for
teachers and por their lanpa everydae. even when hes absent from
school without reason, the teachers just close an eye about it.
well, thats a minor thing you might say, but it made me question
the professionalism of these teachers.
there are stories of the people from ite making it big out there
but look at the statistics, its like a few percent of the entire
cohort.
ite is not a bad school, in fact its much better compared to last
time but the environment/facilities can never compete with polys
and jcs.
perhaps i gave up too easily, but i left the sch after a year and
went out to get a part time job and taking private dip classes, in
fact, i feel more satisfied this way for some reason.
well, to each his own.
