About Advanced Elective Modules (AEM)
Advanced Elective Modules (AEMs) are elective courses in applied areas that will be developed by the polytechnics. AEMs will give upper secondary school students the opportunity to experience and benefit from practice-oriented learning in fields as diverse as digital media and entrepreneurship.
Some key characteristics of the Advanced Elective Modules are:
-
Offered typically as 40-hour courses
- They are taught by Polytechnic instructors and could be conducted either at schools or at polytechnics, depending on the facilities required
- They are delivered in a similar approach to polytechnic courses, which involve a higher practical component as well as more group work. AEMs will also employ assessment approaches that are similar to those found in polytechnics, e.g. project work, group assignments and oral presentations
- In terms of recognition, the AEMs will be reflected in School Holistic Report Card and may be used for polytechnic admission under the Joint Polytechnic Special Admissions Exercise (JPSAE) and the Direct Polytechnic Admission (DPA) exercise
