Note: 1) Figures for 2016 - 2019 are preliminary as students from the same cohort could be admitted to post-secondary education institutions later. Data for 2020 is not available as the 2020 S4N(A) students progressing to S5 are not fully tracked to post-secondary education institutions. 2) Figures include participation in Junior Colleges, Millennia Institute, Polytechnics, Institute of Technical Education (ITE), LASALLE College of the Arts, Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts and other private education institutions, and take into account of students who have left the country. From 2015 onwards, figures also include participation in Privately-Funded Schools and Foreign System Schools.
