Data from Jan 2014 to Dec 2023

Last updated: 09 Jul 2025, 21:01 SGT

SINGSTAT (Singapore Department of Statistics)

Source: MINISTRY OF EDUCATION

Data Last Updated: 06/12/2024

Update Frequency: Annual

Footnotes: 1) For a given year, the statistics are calculated based on the P1 cohort that would typically progress to post-secondary education programmes in that year (i.e. the cohort that entered P1 10 years ago). For example, for 2023, the percentage of P1 cohort that progressed to post-secondary education is calculated based on the cohort that entered P1 in 2013. 2) The figures include Singapore Citizens (SC) and Permanent Residents (PR) only, and exclude International Students (IS). 3) Figures include participation in Junior Colleges, Millennia Institute, Polytechnics, Institute of Technical Education, LASALLE College of the Arts, Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts and other private education institutions, and take into account students who have left the country. From 2015 onwards, the figures also include participation in Privately-Funded Schools and Foreign System Schools. 4) Figures for 2019 to 2023 are preliminary estimates as these cohorts have not been fully tracked.
