Committee of Supply 2024 debate, Day 4: Lim Biow Chuan on ITE education
Some Institute of Technical Education (ITE) students are late bloomers and need more encouragement to help them find a suitable field to excel in and should not be compelled to start work and concurrently study when they are ill-prepared, said MP Lim Biow Chuan in Parliament on Monday (Mar 4). He wanted to know how many ITE graduates have completed and graduated with the Work-Study Diploma in the past three years, and of those who graduated with the diploma, how many went on to university. He also wanted to know if the Work-Study Diploma is widely accepted by employers within their specific industry and how many companies are participating in the programme. He also asked if these employers are equipped to deal with ITE students who are in the workforce for the first time but yet have to take classes and study for their diplomas at the same time.
