New Direct Pathways for Sec 4N(A) • Recognises that vast majority of N(A) students will be progressing to applied and market-oriented post-secondary programmes at the polytechnics or the Institute of Technical Education
New Direct Pathways for Sec 4N(A) • Present new learning options and progression opportunities to motivate N(A) students to do well in their studies

Polytechnic Foundation Programme This provides an alternative to the Sec 5 year. Offered by all 5 Polytechnics. FP Programme students are given provisional places in diploma programmes subject to them passing all the modules in the one-year polytechnic FP
Criteria for Polytechnic Foundation Course Criteria • EMB3 ≤ 11 • provided also that • EL ≤ 3 • MA ≤ 3 • (certain courses also requires all other subjects ≤ 3) • (about 70% of Poly courses will be offered) Bonus points will be awarded for good CCA grades, which can be used in computing the EMB3 for selection and posting to FP course)
