secondary education and 1-3
years of post-secondary
education.

6. Education
Pre-school
Children go into small playgroups that they conveniently call Nursery N1 for the five-year-
olds and N2 for six-year-olds.
After N2, they progress to Kindergarten K1 and K2. At these levels, they get skills-based
training like story-reading techniques, motor skills, hand-eye coordination skills and
counting. Government and private institutions will follow the syllabus laid out by the MOE
to develop lesson plans and worksheets accordingly.

7. Education
Primary School
For government schools, primary education consists of six years. For government
schools, it’s split into:
Lower block (Primary 1 and 2)
Middle block (Primary 3 and 4)
Upper block (Primary 5 and 6)
International schools use Grade 7 to 12 terminology.
After six years of schooling, students take the Primary School Leaving Examination
(PSLE) to determine which secondary school and stream they will attend.

8. Education
Secondary Education
Express consists of two programs: O-Level and Integrated. The GCE O-Level program is
a 4-year course leading into the GCE O-Level exam. The integrated program is a 6-year
course leading to the GCE exam at A-Level Examination, International Baccalaureate
Diploma or NUS High School Diploma. Students in the Integrated Programme do not
need to take the GCE O-Level examination in Secondary 4.
The lower secondary school students (Secondary 1 and Secondary 2) will take all these
subjects in their first two years. Then after this the streaming process takes place.
Students will complete their GCE O or N exams at the end of their secondary education.
They will then decide on their path forward.
