Intake to stop ahead of mergers


Serangoon Junior College is one of four junior colleges that will halt intake of students in 2018. — The Straits Times/ Asia News Network

WHEN this year’s O-level students apply for a junior college after receiving their results, there will be four schools that will not appear on their option forms: Jurong Junior College (JJC), Innova Junior College (IJC), Serangoon Junior College (SRJC) and Tampines Junior College (TPJC).

The JCs will halt their intakes of students a year ahead of their mergers in 2019, which will remove the need for students to physically relocate to another site when the time is due for the schools to move out of their buildings, said the Ministry of Education (MOE) at a recent press briefing.
