Students in the express course follow a four-year programme culminating in the general certificate of education
(GCE) O-level exam. Students in the normal academic course follow a four-year course to GCE N-level and may
sit for O-levels in year five (Figure 7.2). The normal technical programme prepares students for technical higher
education, jobs or the postsecondary ITE after a four-year programme leading to the GCE-N level. In recent years,
more choice has been offered to students in secondary school, with a wider range of subjects at O-level and elective
modules. Students who are clearly of university calibre may study in Integrated Programme Schools where they can
skip O-levels; this arrangement allows them to engage in broader learning experiences that develop their leadership
potential and capacity for creative thinking. There is now more horizontal mobility between courses, and students
who do well are allowed to transfer between streams. The ratio among streams is further enhanced with students
being able to follow subjects from a different stream. Schools specialising in sports, art and mathematics and science
are also available, as well as a small number of independent schools.
