Crest Secondary School is a specialised school exclusively for Normal Technical (NT) students in Singapore. It offered both academic and vocational learning for students. It commenced its first year of operation in January 2013.[1]
The school engages the NT students through a curriculum that largely integrates the academic learning often experienced in mainstream schools as well as the vocational training done in Singapore's Institute of Technical Education (ITE).[2]
Enrolment
[edit]Unlike the mainstream way of being posted to a shortlisted secondary school by the Ministry of Education (MOE), students must apply directly to Crest Secondary School after their Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE).[3]
Curriculum
[edit]The school teaches subjects like Mathematics and Science at the NT level as well as skill-based subjects.[4]
The school also provides an Industry Experiential Programme (IEP) for their secondary three students. It is a four-week work attachment for their vocational modules which leads to a ITE Skills Subject Certificate.[5]
Staff
[edit]The school's staff is not assigned by MOE but signed up to teach at the school.[5]
