DPP (Direct-Entry-Scheme to Polytechnic Program)

What is DPP?§ The DPP prepares 4 Normal (Academic) students for
progression into selected polytechnic diploma courses via a two-year Higher Nitec course at ITE.
§ DPP students who successfully complete their Higher Nitec courses and attain the required minimum qualifying Higher Nitec Grade Point Average (GPA) scores are guaranteed a place in one of the polytechnic diploma courses that are mapped to their Higher Nitec course.

PFP (Polytechnic Foundation Programme)
9
What is PFP?§ The PFP is a one-year programme specially
designed for the top ‘N‘ Level (Academic) cohort.
§ PFP students can join this programme to prepare for a pre-selected diploma course.
§ When they enrol in this programme, they will be offered a provisional place in the selected polytechnic. They will then need to pass a set of modules in the foundation year in order to progress onto the first year of that diploma course.

EAE (ITE) for Sec 4NA/4NT Students
12
The Early Admission Exercise (EAE) is an aptitude and interest-based exercise that allows
your child to apply and receive conditional offers from ITEs prior to receiving the final N-level results, i.e. before the JIE exercise with
everyone else.
![Page 13: Sec 3 Subject Combinations for 2019 (NA) - website Sub... · What is DPP? §The DPP prepares 4 Normal (Academic) students for progression into selected polytechnic diploma ... Mavis](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021810/5c7a477209d3f2c9138bbf76/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
It’s for those who have aptitudes and interests in specific fields of study
13
• Focus on course-specific aptitudes and interests
• But, non-course-specific achievements, e.g. sports, performing arts, leadership, are also considered
1
You’ll be assessed through different modes
• E.g. interviews, aptitude tests, showcasing your portfolio, depending on the course you apply for
2
All this will take place before your N-Level exams• If your application is successful, ITE will give
you a conditional offer before you take the N-Level exams

You’ll still have to meet the minimum entry requirements
14
• Most Nitec courses have subject-specific minimum entry requirements
4
But you won’t have to compete for admission to ITE strictly on the basis of how well you do academically compared to everyone else
5
(…or your offer will be revoked)

What is Subject-Based Banding (SBB)?
• Every student is unique and possesses different strengths. Taking subjects at a higher academic level can help students nurture their strengths and give them more opportunities throughout their educational journey, so that they are more engaged in learning.
• Previously, students in N(A) and N(T) courses can take higher-level subjects starting from Secondary 3. With SBB, your child can start doing so from the start of Secondary 1, to build a stronger foundation in subjects that they are good at.

What are the possible benefits of taking higher-level subjects?
•Some students (and parents) have shared that SBB allows the students to challenge themselves, and to have more options for Sec 3 subject combinations and post-secondary courses.
•A strong foundation in literacy, numeracy and reasoning, would ensure students are better prepared for various post-secondary progression pathways (e.g. to ITE and Polytechnic).

Some insights from 2017 implementation
84
As we don’t have many N(T) students taking N(A) Science, we relied on our N(A) friends who are in the same CCA. We
checked with them on homework and clarified doubts. They were helpful.
I love the SBB EL class a lot, as I learn different things beyond the content for N(A) stream. Being in the banded class allowed me to talk to other students in a different stream. I have made
new friends and lessons were enjoyable. It might be more difficult, but it also has a lot of fun activities.

What’s Ahead ?Q: Will my child continue with the higher-level subjects all the way to Sec 4? •Your child may continue with the corresponding higher-level subject at upper secondary if she meets our school’s criteria at the end of Sec 2.
•Student can take up to max of 3 out-ofstream subjects.

Progression opportunities for Sec 4 N(A)
• Sec 4 N(A) students have the following progression opportunities:
• To apply for any of the programmes above, students must satisfy the minimum entry requirements.
• A strong literacy and numeracy foundation would ensure students are better prepared for these progression pathways.
• Therefore, students are encouraged to deepen their knowledge in English, Mathematics and Science.

• The PFP is a one-year foundation programme for polytechnic-bound students offering a practice-oriented curriculum taught by polytechnic lecturers.
• PFP students are given provisional places in diploma programmes, subject to them passing all modules in the one-year PFP.
• Polytechnic Foundation Programme(PFP)
• Direct-Entry-Scheme to Polytechnic Programme (DPP)• Students accepted into the DPP will
enrol into Higher Nitec courses at ITE.• These students are subsequently
offered a place in a polytechnic diploma course mapped to their Higher Nitec, subject to them meeting the Grade Point Average (GPA) requirements.
§ For both programmes, posting is based on merit and subject to vacancies in open competition.
