Mixed Level schools are classified by type according to their secondary sections. (2) The first junior college (National Junior College) was opened in 1969. (3) Introduced in 1987, centralised institutes provide a 3-year pre-university course leading to A-Level certification. (4) Figures exclude the number of Pre-U centres. Introduced in 1979, Pre-U centres are schools that offer a 3-year pre-university course leading to A-Level certification. They were phased out in 1995 due to falling demand.
