SINGAPORE: The results of this year's Singapore-Cambridge N-Level examinations will be released next Thursday (Dec 17) at 2pm, the Ministry of Education (MOE) and Singapore Examinations and Assessment Board (SEAB) said.
Given the ongoing COVID-19 situation, arrangements have been made for school candidates to receive their results in their individual classrooms from 2pm, instead of gathering as a cohort as in previous years.

School candidates who are unwell, on quarantine order, stay-home notice or leave of absence should not return to school to collect their results. They can view their results online via SEAB's results release system at www.seab.gov.sg from 2.30pm on Dec 17. The system will be accessible until Dec 31.
School candidates who are eligible for SingPass can use their account to access SEAB's online results release system. School candidates who are international students can access the results release system using the SEAB-issued PIN sent to their email addresses that their schools provided to SEAB.
"School candidates can also appoint a proxy to collect a physical copy of their results on their behalf," the joint press release said.

Private candidates will be notified of their results by post. The results will be mailed on Dec 17.
Private candidates with SingPass accounts can also obtain their results online on SEAB's online results release system, similar to arrangements for school candidates. Those without SingPass accounts can use the SEAB-issued PIN sent to their email addresses.

DPP prepares students for progression into selected polytechnic diploma courses via a two-year Higher Nitec course at ITE.

POLYTECHNIC FOUNDATION PROGRAMME (PFP)
Students interested in applying for the Polytechnic Foundation Programme (PFP) should first start their Secondary 5 school year in 2021, while awaiting notification of eligibility and confirmation of a place in the PFP.
The PFP is a diploma-specific foundation programme conducted over two academic semesters at the polytechnics. It caters to students in the Normal (Academic) course who have decided to pursue a polytechnic education and meet the PFP eligibility requirements at the end of Secondary 4.
Applications for the PFP will open in January 2021 on the day the O-Level results are released. Those eligible for the PFP will receive a copy of Form P on the same day inviting them to apply for PFP.
