Mr. Chan reaffirmed that JC registration requirements are not being relaxed, citing MOE models that showed that a similar proportion of students would continue to be accepted into JC. He added that the government would closely watch kids ‘ academic results to ensure that their JC education was beneficial.  ,
About 27 % of students enrolled in post-secondary corporations have gone through JCs or MIs over the past five years, while 43 % have chosen colleges. These values have maintained stability, according to MOE.
According to MOE data, about 42 % of students who were eligible for JC between 2019 and 2023 chose to enroll in colleges instead.  ,  ,
According to a ministry spokesperson, the JC admission cut-off points may “adjust correctly” with the updated criteria.
The spokesperson stated that the fact that you’re counting just one area makes it possible to anticipate that the cut-off points for JC entrance will typically drop slightly in line with the number of subjects that aren’t being taken into account.  ,
However, we don’t anticipate the cut-off level to be tightened beyond that.

In his speech, Mr. Chan also announced that the second phase of the JC rejuvenation program will include four additional institutions: Victoria JC, Anglo-Chinese JC, Catholic JC, National JC, and Anglo-Chinese JC.
The second phase of the renovations, which is scheduled to end in January 2028, includes modifications to Anderson Serangoon JC, Jurong Pioneer JC, Temasek JC, and Yishun Innova JC.  ,
According to Mr. Chan, the four Respondents in the second phase are Singapore’s second most recent JC campuses.
He continued,” The government is working with the Respondents on their system programs, including possibly moving them to new areas.”  ,
The newly remodeled campuses will have more advanced amenities like customizable spaces and multi-functional workspaces for workers. The first step is thought to charge about S$ 570 million.  ,
