Educational Pathways For Students With Special Needs
1. Sensory impairment
Students with sensory-impairment who are able to access mainstream curriculum can continue their education in designated mainstream secondary schools after PSLE.
These secondary schools have additional support including resource teachers to help the hearing-impaired and visually-impaired students cope with the curriculum. MOE provides assistive devices, e.g. FM equipment, Braille Notebook Computers and talking calculators for these students.
2. Intellectual Disability
Students with intellectual disability, who meet the eligibility criteria, will undergo a vocational education programme resulting in national vocational certification such as ITE Skills Certificate (ISC) and WDA Workforce Skills Qualifications (WSQ).
Students who are unable to go to mainstream secondary or post-secondary education, or find open employment upon leaving school, will proceed to one of the training centres or workshops run by Volunteer Welfare Organisations (VWOs).
Such training equips them with the necessary skills for employment. Those who are able are placed in open employment whilst those who require more supervision attend production sheltered workshops or work activity centres.
