Educational Pathways for Children with Special Needs Printable Version (95kb .pdf)
Pupils who are able, sit for the Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE). If successful, they leave SPED schools to continue their education in mainstream secondary schools. These pupils attend regular classes and follow the curriculum of mainstream schools. Special resource teachers are deployed to designated mainstream secondary schools to assist these pupils.
Hearing Impaired (HI) pupils who communicate using sign language, can opt to attend one of 2 designated secondary schools:
Balestier Hill Secondary School
Boon Lay Secondary School
Visually Handicapped (VH) pupils from the Singapore School for the Visually Handicapped (SSVH) who pass the PSLE can choose to attend one of the designated schools for the visually handicapped as listed below:
Ahmad Ibrahim Secondary School
Bedok South Secondary School
Clementi Woods Secondary School
Dunearn Secondary School
The above schools have additional support including resource teachers to help visually handicapped pupils cope with the curriculum.
Pupils who are unable to continue their education in secondary schools will proceed to one of the training centres or workshops run by 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.
