Senior Minister Teo Chee Hean has said that 90 percent of Institute of Technical Education students succeed in completing their courses.
Mr Teo, who is Coordinating Minister for National Security, said that this compares well with figures reported by other countries in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, where the average success rate is 38 per cent for students at upper secondary level obtaining a vocational qualification.
In his speech, Mr Teo urged ITE to keep up its success and go further in three ways: by constantly adapting to meet students’ needs, adding value to industry partners, and contributing to lifelong learning.
Today, ITE offers 91 courses across 12 industry sectors. The institute has also constantly revamped its certification to meet the needs of its students and industry.
