Percentage of N-Level Cohort that Progressed to Post-Secondary Education
Ministry of Education (MOE) reports the percentage of each N-Level cohort progressing to post-secondary education in Singapore from 2007 through 2020. The CSV dataset captures junior colleges, Millennia Institute, polytechnics, ITE, arts institutions, private pathways, and overseas leavers, with detailed notes on preliminary years and 2021 tracking gaps. Education planners studying academic pathways after N-Level can compare progression rates over time. Use this collection alongside O-Level and PSLE progression series for a fuller MOE transition picture.
Official description
Note:
1) Figures for 2017 - 2020 are preliminary as students from the same cohort could be admitted to post-secondary education institutions later. Data for 2021 is not available as the 2021 S4N(A) students progressing to S5 are not fully tracked to post-secondary education institutions.
2) Figures include participation in Junior Colleges, Millennia Institute, Polytechnics, Institute of Technical Education (ITE), LASALLE College of the Arts, Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts and other private education institutions, and take into account of students who have left the country. From 2015 onwards, figures also include participation in Privately-Funded Schools and Foreign System Schools.
