Japanese Searching for Flaws at Singapore's TOP Polytechnic | Ngee Ann Poly

[@ahlorachew7726]

In Singapore, after you graduate Secondary school, and get either N Level or O Level certificate, majority of the students get to choose whether you want to take a diploma or an A Level certificate. If you want to specify in a specific field, then a diploma in that field is what they take, and the polytechnics provide this. Polytechnics and ITEs (which is another choice you can go to) focus more on vocational and work skills. That is why the school campus is so big, because in Ngee Ann alone, it is split into (if I'm not wrong), 9 schools. Each school teaching different fields. Eg, Technology, Film, Art, Engineering, Business, Sciences. There are internal shuttle buses to move within the school easier. Many of the teachers too come from the actual industries that they are teaching about. Which is another reason why we can't really say which poly is the best, because each poly has so many different schools, so take for example, Ngee Ann's best in Singapore in Business, Singapore Poly is good in engineering, Nanyang Poly is good in animation. Some who are still unsure of what field they want to work in in the future, they'll take A Level certificate at Junior Colleges. Which is more academic, less vocational. Polytechnics need 3 years to complete, Junior College takes 2 years. After that, regardless of whether you have a diploma or A level cert, we can apply for University, to get a degree. The males will go for their compulsory military service between Poly/JC and Uni. On another note, Ngee Ann Poly has REALLY good and affordable western at Poolside canteen. Im not too sure if its still there tho. Its been like 5 years.

[@jacie7646]

Temasek has a reputable design school too

[@Alexander-et9jm]

I think poly is a special form of tertiary institute in Singapore which is specifically designed for the development of Singapore's economic environment, in most Asian countries like Korea, China, Taiwan, Malaysia and so on, at least 60%~80% cohort are able to enter government universities quite easily whereas in Singapore they only allowed like 20+% of each primary school cohort to enter, so poly graduates actually form the majority of Singaporean workforce(like 50 to 60 per cent), but the policy seems to have been changing in the past years that more Singaporean students are allowed to enter unis like NTU, NUS, SMU and SIT and obtain uni degrees.

[@Philson]

Yeah, I think the best way to describe a poly and ITE to a Japanese is: 専門学校. But I don't think there is a TOP poly. Different ones are famous for different courses.

[@JeromeTan]

totally agree with your 2 points..1) poly is senmon gakkou, 2) there's never such a ranking for poly..

[@directioneralley9984]

thats SO TRUE i hate when people hv this misconception ngeeann is famous for biz sp is famous for engineering nyp is nursing tp is social sciences / law rp is arts management ++ so it all honestly varies on what u like :(

[@soundrelaxing3948]

In China we also have this type of school(中专）， it was very popular 20-30 years ago, now most of them changed into high school, as it's difficult to find a job after graduated from 中专。

[@Cherrlynne]

I would love if you could come to Temasek Poly!!

[@cchinhwee]

There's no so-called best polytechnic in SG..but rather each poly has its credits in offering a wide variety of courses that are recommended for students who wish to pursue pragmatic studies and gain practical experience before preparing to work in either private or public sectors. Poly students are known to be versatile, resilient, creative and fun-loving... partly due to their on-the-job (OJT) training that commence in Poly.

When you ask Singaporean what is their favourite food, it is really a difficult question. This is because we need to rotate our menu every meal, and at times, our favourite food at that point in time really depends on what we want to eat or feel like eating that day.

If you dont already know, after secondary school(age 13-16/17), students get to choose to go to a Polytechnic or Junior College(JC). Polytechnics certifies students with a diploma of their course after 3 years while JCs certifies students with an A-level Cambridge cert after 2 years. Most JC graduates are likely to go to the top universities in Singapore while 1/3 Polytechnic graduates will make it into University

The biggest flaw about Ngee Ann Poly (ex-student here) would be that the phone signal gets cut off when you enter some of the lifts. Was stuck in the lifts one time with my friends and we had to wait until someone outside realised it in order for us to be rescued :\ Hopefully they've fixed it by now.

[@jemchan]

I really love your videos!

[@mosessim446]

No top polytechnic but oldest being the Singapore Polytechnic further down the road at Dover road. But if you insist then SP is the one whereas Ngee Ann Polytechnic was not a poly in the early days but a commercial institution mainly for Accounting and clerical training for the business sector. The sport centre used to be a chinese cemetery.

[@tttan1843]

I think polytechnic in Singapore might be equivalent to 'senbon gakko'. Basically in Japan most will go senior high school which is Pre university in Singapore. Basically we can choose not to go to Pre university or senior high school but to go to polytechnic so that you can choose to specialised in a certain major. Its one step lower then a degree but at least you get a diploma. But if you go just Pre university, and cannot make it to university, then you only get an academic qualification, generally pay is also lower then a diploma holder.

[@maplefreak64]

There is a four-year college about 800 schools in Japan. There is 2 year system university about 310 schools. The number of the high school is about 4800 school. It's numerous, so Japanese esteems the rank which indicates merits and demerits. Japanese wanted to know a rank of Ngee Ann Polytechnic by such reason. The true meaning which asked her whether he was top-level. But a campus in Ngee Ann Polytechnic and the environment look wonderful. It's much better than Japanese school.

[@paecpc]

I think being a KZbinr can be a proper career, just like being in the entertainment industry like Actors and Actresses, not everyone can be one even if they choose to be, because it involves creativity, fine personality, hard work, likeabity, enterprising etc. There’s many way to define success in carving a great career for oneself. I love art in school but was forced to study science by my family, and ended up quite unhappy, luckily I chose the right career for myself, now I still do painting for leisure. Hence, Ken, do your best in whatever you are doing now, as your videos not only bring entertainment to people but also knowledge, understanding and enlightenment. You are also an ambassador for your country, bridging different people together.

I don't think there's a "top poly" since their courses are all quite integrated and have different specialisations. It'll be a lot easier to tell what's the "top junior college" by the o level cut off point though. But I doubt the top two JC will allow you to film in there. If you're not after the top 2, try Nanyang JC since they've been featured in quite a few local KZbinr's and TV dramas.

シンガポールのポリテクニックは高等技術専門学校ないし高等専門学校と訳される3年制の学校でディプロマ (diploma) を取得できる。シンガポールは複線型の教育制度をとっていて統一試験によって振り分けられていく制度である。そのため、小学校6年で中学校が4年～5年となっており中学卒業時には試験によってジュニアカレッジ・ポリテクニック・技術インスティチュートに分けられる。ジュニアカレッジは旧制高等学校のような大学進学に備える学校であり、ポリテクニックは職業に直結するような高度な専門知識を学び、日本でいえば高等専門学校のようなものである。進学に関しては成績が良ければ国内の大学へ編入できることもあるが、海外大学のシンガポール分校もしくはオーストラリアなど英語圏の大学へ進学することが多い。 逆に職業訓練校の成績優秀者がポリテクニックへ編入することもあるが、その場合は大学へ編入することは稀である。

There are several educational routes we can take in Singapore... Polytechnic students graduate with a Diploma, which is equivalent of an associate degree in the US system, they sort of learn all the year 1/foundation year university content over 3 years. There're no best polytechnics - all of them offer various diploma courses, with a few unique ones between them. Polytechnics also offer part-time courses for mature students to take on a 2nd specialisation. There're also ITE and Vocational institutes - that's for students who want to learn to be technicians/hospitality/etc. Another path is the junior college/centralized institutions (CI), etc. - where its more like senior-high school, they graduate with the 'A' levels of the Cambridge system, or an IB-Diploma, in preparation for university... these are for the more academic kind of students.
