Abstract
A systematic survey conducted by the Institute
of Education involving school personnel
and prospective employers of school leavers
showed that Secondary Four students were
generally lacking in job knowledge, job
application skills and had no clear career
directions. They were often unrealistic
about their educational aspirations, job preferences
and were overly materialistic in job
values. The survey highlighted the urgent
need for career guidance in Singapore
schools.
