Questions Your Child May Have
“Which subject combination should I take?”
“Which educational pathway should I choose?”
“Do I enjoy the languages, Sciences, Humanities or Mathematics?”
“Do I know my career aspiration yet?”
“What are the subjects required to get to my aspiration?”
“I don’t know what I want to be yet, but I know I love Literature. How now?”
“What do I really like about this subject?”

1) Help Your Child Explore “Who Am I?”
Your Child’s Self-Awareness
• Helping them develop their self-identity is foundational to the education and career planning process.
• Support them as they discover their values, interests, personality and skills.
• Journeying with them to answer the question, “Who Am I?”, would help them to decide on how best to move forward.

“What does your child enjoy or is good at?”
• If they enjoy a subject, they are likely to do well in it because being interested in something engages and motivates them.
• If they do well in a subject, they are likely to be more confident of it and might grow to enjoy it over time.
Mathematics
Sciences
Mother Tongue Arts
Literature
English Language

2) Help Your Child Explore “Where Am I Going?”
• Which are the courses of study or careers that are more likely to be aligned with your child’s values, interests, personality, skills or learning needs? E.g. • Is it important to him that his work gives him opportunities to help others?
• Will her love for music be incorporated in her studies or work?
• Does she prefer a job where she works alone or as part of a team?
• Would he enjoy a career that puts his flair for writing to good use?
• Would she prefer learning in the polytechnic, which is more oriented towards specific careers, or in JC/CI, which is more broad-based and academic?

Holland Code (RIASEC Code)
• Most people can be described as a combination of 3 dominant types, e.g. “REC” (out of 6 personality types R.I.A.S.E.C).
• One tends to seek work environments of the same or similar type e.g. one with a code of REC may be drawn to jobs with REC or a similar code (e.g. RCE).

3) Help Your Child Explore “How Do I Get There?”
• What are the educational and occupational pathways available?
• What are the results criteria for your child’s desired subject combination at the end of Sec 2, if any?
• What are the various courses’ minimum entry requirements for JC, Poly, ITE, etc.?
• What steps can your child take, to work towards his/her goal?
• Are there practical constraints your child may face? E.g. colour appreciation deficiency

As soon as possible…
• Create opportunities for your child to speak with relatives or neighbours who are in various occupations
• Encourage them to observe and interact with people on the job (e.g., retailers when shopping, nurses/doctors when visiting the clinic) to find out more out about their work
• Allow them the flexibility to explore different industries if they are looking for part time work during the holidays
• Enthuse them to read the newspapers and listen to the news to be more aware of new industries and opportunities out there
• Encourage them to visit open houses (usually held in January every year) to speak with seniors and lecturers to find out more about the courses

Remind Your Child
Not to choose a subject combination because
• of a friend, teacher, relative, etc.
• it sounds prestigious
• many perceive it will lead to good prospects
• they qualify for it, even though the subject does not interest them
