Percentage of Primary 1 (P1) Cohort Eligible for Secondary School, Annual

Data from Jan 2014 to Dec 2024

Last updated: 10 Feb 2026, 23:00 SGT

SINGSTAT (Singapore Department of Statistics)

Source: MINISTRY OF EDUCATION

Data Last Updated: 17/11/2025

Update Frequency: Annual

Footnotes: 1) For a given year, the statistics are calculated based on the P1 cohort that would typically sit for the PSLE exam in that year (i.e. the cohort that entered P1 5 years ago). For example, for 2024, the percentage of P1 cohort eligible for secondary school is calculated based on the cohort that entered P1 in 2019. 2) The figures include Singapore Citizens (SC) and Permanent Residents (PR) only, and exclude International Students (IS). 3) Figures for 2022 to 2024 are preliminary estimates as these cohorts have not been fully tracked.
