hey there everyone.
i wonder why nobody asked about ITE because i believe ITE is
equally better than JCs and Polys. everyone have their different
experiences of life inside ITE, depending of the kinda teachers you
meet, the kinda schoolmates you meet, the kinda classmates you
meet, the kinda co-curricular activities you join.
in ITE, our classes are by modular basis. we learn different things
every semester. we do not start our day with flag-raising
ceremonies. and we have classes starting and ending at different
times of the day, just like normal polytechnics.
it's true that ITE's hands-on minds-on hearts-on
because:
[b]HANDS-ON: we really do hands-on stuff. yeah apart from
students who specialise in the technical, mechanical, electronical
fields.
for business and hospitality courses, we also learn how to create
and manage our own events and use basic office computer
applications. for students specialising in retail and tourism, they
get to handle the point-of-sale system and also the system that's
used commonly throughout the tourism industry for booking of air
tickets, etc.
for it courses, loads of hands-on either on the hardware or the
software side depending on the specialisation you've chosen. the
one taught in clementi campus is business-information technology in
which you're taught on basics of business and also mixed with
information technology. for dover and tampines campus if i'm not
wrong, theirs is information technology which either allows to opt
for the hardware field or the multimedia software field.
nursing is also another option you may want to consider because of
the high demands in the healthcare industry in the recent years
because of the ageing population in singapore.
MINDS-ON: simply means the determination that we
ite students have to be better than others, irregardless of jcs
poly universities. we have that focused-mind to aim ourselves
towards polytechnics.
HEARTS-ON: our student nurses are the best
examples out there la. but seriously, ite lecturers do care for us
even though they have to set us discipline and attendance
standards. they do listen to your problems and help you with their
heart and passion. some of the lecturers inside actually put aside
their high-salaried careers just to teach us.

thumbs up for this post of yours. i'm from an ITE also and it's
very different from what the public generalized as. i don't know
about other campuses, but i'm sure of my campus.
