If you have been reading my posts, you see that I use general terms such as children or write how old the child is. Every country has its own education system. Thus, using general terms is easily understood by most people. If you would like to know what K2, P1 or Sec 1 means in Singapore, below is the table to show the education system in general*:
Stage | Sub-categories | Typical Age | Short Form Used |
Pre-school | Playgroup | age varies | |
Nursery | 3 — 4 | N1, N2 | |
Kindergarten | 5 — 6 | K1, K2 | |
Primary | 7 — 12 | P1, P2, P3, P4, P5, P6 | |
Secondary | Lower Secondary | 13 — 14 | Sec 1, Sec 2 |
Upper Secondary | 15 — 17 | Sec 3, Sec 4, Sec 5 | |
Post-Secondary / Pre-University | age varies | JC, poly, ITE (depending on which institution you are in) | |
University | age varies |
* Note: I do not have children (as of now). The above table is made based on my personal understanding. If there is any deviation from the current system, please feel free to update me. Thanks.
