Through the RP PFP, I was given the opportunity to connect with individuals of different backgrounds and academic pursuits. This enabled me to gain new perspectives and better understand my interests. RP PFP also helped me with the transition from Secondary School learning pedagogy to RP’s problem-based learning pedagogy.

 

 

The PFP route gave me students like me in the NA stream to have a second chance to prove ourselves. In PFP@RP, it helped me transition to the life in polytechnic, with presentations and projects, and allowed students to build core friendships and connections between schools and diplomas.

Being in RP gave me a chance to develop not just my knowledge, but my character with its pedagogy, the PBL approach. I was able to develop my leadership, communication , and independent learning skills. I was also able to explore careers and field of studies in RP.

 

 

PFP@RP’s curriculum has gone beyond learning theories in classrooms by training management skills and socio-emotional development in students. The dynamic life in RP allowed us to form strong bonds among schoolmates and the society.

 

 

I wanted to jump start my career as soon as I could, so PFP@RP was my #1 choice. I learnt to step out of my comfort zone, take initiative of opportunities, and hone my critical thinking skills to perform better at work.

 

 

I chose the PFP track after my N-Level and it paved the way to progress to poly, and subsequently to NUS Electrical Engineering. We can still get into a university without O-Level. And I’m not the only one who have made it to a local university!
