Vocational training for students who lack qualification for ALs

Date:

The Department of Manpower and Employment has planned an initiative to direct students who do not qualify for the G.C.E. Advanced Level based on their G.C.E. Ordinary Level results in 2020 for vocational training and place them in employment.

About 98,000 students who sat for their OLs in 2020 did not qualify for the ALs, and the initiative is designed to target the pool of students and select everyone except those who had failed the Mathematics Subject but are appearing for their ALs based on later submission.

Students who do not qualify for the ALs will be identified at the Divisional Secretariat Level via the initiative and given vocational training based on their skills, abilities and interests.

Based on requirement, these students will also be referred to the National Youth Corps and the National Youth Services Council as required.

The initiative is planned to be implemented in two phases.
