On Tuesday morning, Spectrum Middle School in northern Singapore was very lively: in the mechanical maintenance workshop, students disassembled air conditioners in pairs and studied how to connect the wires on the machine panel; In the retailer's shop, the atmosphere is a little more serious, and the students are doing a test to put the goods on the list in the right place item by item; In the cooking class, some students stir-fry with a spatula, some supervise "baking" by the oven, some clean pots and pans, and cooperate with each other to serve spring chicken dishes. The classroom in the facilities maintenance department is quiet. Except for a mobile whiteboard, the others are groups of bathroom equipment and boxes of maintenance accessories, quietly waiting for the students in the next class to knock around. ...
In the vast campus, classrooms such as maintenance workshops, retail stores, kitchens and hotel rooms are completely built, bringing all the real scenes of the industry into the school.
For parents and teachers in Taiwan Province Province, it sounds like higher vocational education, but in particular, Singapore has extended the years of technical and vocational education downward, and children are ready to enter the real world when they graduate from primary school at the age of thirteen.
In Yunjin Middle School, exams are not only paper and pencil exams, but also real-life exams such as serving food, putting on shelves, cleaning room service, repairing refrigerators and opening toilets.
Yunjin Middle School, established only four years ago, is the only secondary school with technical education (that is, technical and vocational education in Taiwan Province Province). It is not the mainstream of education in Singapore, but Yunjin has become a popular school in recent years because it is committed to providing students with the opportunity to "connect with the real workplace".
