Key Takeaways
When O-level results are controlled for, the JC vs. Poly gap in local university admission rates is far smaller than headline statistics suggest — selection effect accounts for most of the difference.
Poly IT, engineering, and applied science graduates earn starting salaries within 10% of NUS computing graduates — a gap that closes entirely within 3–5 years.
Life satisfaction surveys show no statistically significant difference between Poly diploma holders and JC/university graduates — but pathway-interest fit is the strongest predictor of adult wellbeing.
Research Data
Indexed to IT field = 100. MOE Graduate Employment Survey 2023; MOM Graduate Outcomes Report 2023.
When controlling for O-level results, the gap in local university admission rates between JC and Poly students narrows substantially — the selection effect (higher O-level entry bar for JC) accounts for most of the observed difference (LKY SPP, 2021).
在新加坡教育道路的众多分叉中，中四/中五的初院对理工学院决定是每单位实际生活后果产生最多家长焦虑的决定。这也是最有研究支持的决定之一。
教育部的毕业生就业调查和年度队列研究数据显示，当控制O水准成绩时，初院学生和理工学院学生之间的本地大学入学率差异远小于总体统计数字所显示的。选择效应——初院入学需要更高的O水准分数——占了观察到的大学入学率差异的大部分。
教育部的毕业生就业调查一致显示，技术领域的理工学院毕业生（工程、IT、应用科学）在毕业后六个月内就业率超过90%，起薪已显著向本地大学毕业生水平靠拢。
来自政策研究所的全国生活满意度调查的最惊人数据点是：在控制收入和就业状况后，理工学院文凭持有者和初院/本地大学毕业生报告了统计上相当的整体生活满意度、职业成就感和社会联系。
