Percentage of P1 Cohort who Progressed to Post-Secondary Education

Description

Ministry of Education CSV time series from 1995 through 2024 showing the percentage of each Primary 1 cohort progressing to post-secondary education by race. Footnotes define cohort timing, SC/PR coverage, institution types included from 2015, and preliminary estimates for recent cohorts. Education planners track Singapore pathway completion and ethnic participation in higher pathways.
