Abstract
This chapter discusses Singapore’s current post-secondary education landscape in the context of shifts over time. The development of Junior Colleges, Polytechnics and the Institute of Technical Education in Singapore reflect dynamic institutional responses to evolving socio-political and economic concerns. This chapter highlights salient shifts that have shaped, and continue to shape, technical, vocational and academically oriented post-secondary education in Singapore. Current transformations in these institutions are bold attempts to seize unique opportunities to ensure student success in, and for, economy and society. However, the chapter suggests that there are challenges and instituitions will need to constantly adapt and balance competing demands as they seek to navigate post-secondary students into the future.
