A centralized admission test for students, this is an initiative by PAI to streamline the application and admission processes for students who wish to seek admission into Singapore mainstream primary and secondary schools. With the certification test results being recognized by participating mainstream schools, we have, since the launch of PACT in 2004, helped more than 20,000 student candidates save time and cost by removing the need for them to take entrance exams administered at the individual institutions. PACT assists our local schools by providing standardized proficiency certification for entry into Primary 2-5, and Secondary 1-3. These student candidates comprise mostly international students from the region as well as local students, seeking a place in the Singapore education system.
