Post-secondary Comparative Enrolment 1997 - 2002 (Line Graph)
Note:  Post-secondary enrolment does not include pre-university enrolment -- i.e. enrolment in junior colleges and centralized institutes.  Also not included are apprenticeships associated with the Institute of Technical Education. Whereas all of the above institutions represent terminal stations before entering into the Singaporean work force,  one may enter a national university and the National Institute of Education from a polytechnic, and one may enter a Polytechnic from the Institute of Technical Education. See flowchart for a better picture.
