What is ASIPRE in Singapore all about?

 

ASPIRE is the Applied Study in Polytechnics and ITE Review.

 

 

The Applied Study in Polytechnics and ITE Review (ASPIRE) Committee, chaired by Senior Minister of State for Law and Education, Ms Indranee Rajah, began its work in January 2014. The Committee was tasked to study how applied education in the polytechnics and ITE could be enhanced by:

• Better matching students’ strengths and interests to applied education pathways to enable them to maximise their potential;
• Exploring deeper school-industry collaborations so that polytechnic and ITE students can learn deep skills and enjoy better career progression; and
• Enhancing industry partnerships to raise the quality of teaching and learning for polytechnic and ITE students.
