Description

Ministry of Education CSV indicator tracking, by admission cohort year, the share of Singapore P1 cohorts achieving at least five N-Level passes (grade D/5 or better) or three O-Level passes (grade C6 or better). Policy analysts and schools use the 2001–2024 series to study secondary pathways, including combined N/O counting rules and preliminary figures for recent years.

Official description

(1) For a given year, the statistics are calculated based on the P1 cohort that would typically sit for these exams in that year. For example, for 2023, the percentage of the P1 cohort eligible for secondary school is calculated based on the cohort that entered P1 in 2018, and the percentage of the P1 cohort who achieved Grade D / 5 or better in at least 5 N-Level subjects or Grade C6 or better in at least 3 O-Level subjects is calculated based on the cohort that entered P1 in 2014. (2) Figures include students who achieved Grade D / 5 / C6 or better in 5 distinct subjects based on a combination of N- and O-Level subjects. For students offering ITE Skills Certificate or ITE Skills Subject Certificate courses, the equivalent N-Level grades are also taken into consideration. (3) Figures for the last three years are preliminary.
