Until recently ITEdubbed Its The End by ambitious middle-class parentswas the dark sideof Singaporean education. The city state streams pupils rigorously and is unashamedly elitist:one school claims to send more students to Ivy League universities than any other secondaryschool in the world. But such a system also produces losersand many of the bottom thirdwho do not make it to university come to ITE.
在不久之前,工艺教育学院的缩写ITE还被望子成龙的中产阶级家长嘲讽为是It s The End的缩写,被视为新加坡教育不光彩的一面。这个城邦国家严格地将学生三六九等分,毫不掩饰其对精英的崇拜:有一所学校号称比世界上其他任意一所中学向常青籘联盟高校输送的学生都多。但是这样一个体制也会生产出失败者很多排名倒数几名不能上大学的就去了工艺教育学院。
Since the 1990s the government has worked hard to change ITEs image. It has not only spenta lot of money on new facilities and better teachers but also put a great deal of thought into it,scouring the West for best practice in vocational training.

That has involved discipline but also fun outside the classroom: ITE has sports teams andconcerts just like any university.
