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眾多分叉中，中四/中五的初院對工院決定是每單位實際生活後果產生最多家長焦慮的決定。這也是最有研究支持的決定之一。
教育部的畢業生就業調查和年度隊列研究數據顯示，當控制O水準成績時，初院學生和工院學生之間的本地大學入學率差異遠小於總體統計數字所顯示的。選擇效應——初院入學需要更高的O水準分數——佔了觀察到的大學入學率差異的大部分。
教育部的畢業生就業調查一致顯示，技術領域的工院畢業生（工程、IT、應用科學）在畢業後六個月內就業率超過90%，起薪已顯著向本地大學畢業生水平靠攏。
來自政策研究所的全國生活滿意度調查的最驚人數據點是：在控制收入和就業狀況後，工院文憑持有者和初院/本地大學畢業生報告了統計上相當的整體生活滿意度、職業成就感和社會聯繫。
