When was that?

During my time, 'Toh Tuck' was held up as a place you'd end up in if you didn't study hard enough for your PSLE. It was unfortunate actually because I subsequently met quite a few ex-Toh Tuckians who were quite successful.

Really? that explains why a (1980s) toh tuck alumni classmate who was among our polytechnic's top graduates felt like an outcast when he studied at RJC for 2 years.

My primary school teacher didn't make fun of any school. She would tell us that if we didn't study hard we'd end up like the ditch diggers.
Those who did not study hard got dumped in monolingual pri 8.
Then after that further studies in VITB (now ITC) then join workforce.

It was a dumb idea to extend the length of schooling. When you added NS & the unofficial retirement age, you are really shortening the work life of Sporeans.

In Canada you can enter the Uni with O levels. I knew someone who used his O levels to enter a Canadian university. He returned to do his NS after getting 2 majors, a Bcom & BA. He had plans to do an MBA in Harvard after his NS.
