Footnotes: Figures include pre-university students in centralised institutes and Pre-U centres. The Special and Express streams were merged, from Secondary 1, 2008. Normal (Technical) includes students in Specialised Schools. These students are taking the ITE Skills Certificate (ISC) course or in a 2-year work-study programme after completing ISC. Starting from the 2024 Secondary 1 cohort, the Normal (Technical), Normal (Academic) and Express courses were removed with the introduction of Full Subject-Based Banding.
