Singapore Education Key Dates, 2026–2027

How to read this calendar

This is a rolling 2026–2027 calendar. Each row is tagged with a status: Announced (officially confirmed), Tentative (MOE/SEAB has given an indicative date that may shift), and Closed (the window has passed). Result dates stay tentative until confirmed closer to the date. Tap a category to open its official MOE or SEAB source.

Not in this table — where to find these

Some of these are published elsewhere — SEAB’s own exam timetables carry the exact component dates — and some are never announced as a single national date, because individual schools or polytechnics set them. We do not publish guessed dates; check the official source in each case. The one genuinely unreleased item is the 2026-cohort S1 posting timeline, which MOE normally publishes around mid-November; school choices are submitted in the week after PSLE results and posting results follow in the second half of December.

• Exact PSLE 2026 component dates (oral, listening, and individual written-paper dates) — only in the SEAB PSLE exam timetable.
• Which days each primary school closes to its Primary 1–5 pupils during the PSLE marking exercise — the national marking window (12–14 Oct 2026) is published by SEAB and MOE, but the school-level no-school arrangement is set and notified by each school.
• Exact GCE O-Level, N-Level and A-Level 2026 written/oral/listening paper dates — only in the separate SEAB exam timetables.
• DSA-JC application window — junior colleges set their own DSA-JC periods and criteria; there is no single MOE-published date.
• 2026-cohort Secondary 1 posting and PSLE option-submission dates (entry to Sec 1 in Jan 2027) — published around mid-November 2026.

Common questions

When are PSLE 2026 results released?

PSLE 2026 results are tentatively released on 24 to 25 November 2026. The national PSLE marking exercise runs from Monday 12 to Wednesday 14 October 2026, published by SEAB and on MOE’s academic calendar; which of those days your child’s primary school closes to its Primary 1 to 5 pupils is a school-level arrangement notified by the school. The exact oral, listening and written-paper dates are in the SEAB PSLE exam timetable. Always confirm against MOE and SEAB.

When do the 2026 GCE O-Level / SEC results come out?

2026 GCE O-Level (Singapore-Cambridge Secondary Education Certificate, SEC, from 2027) results are tentatively released on 13 to 15 January 2027. N-Level results are tentative for 17 to 21 December 2026, and A-Level results for 19 to 23 February 2027. Result dates are tentative until MOE and SEAB confirm them closer to the date.

When is the DSA-Sec 2026 application window?

The DSA-Sec 2026 application window ran from 6 May to 2 June 2026 (now closed) for Primary 6 pupils seeking entry to Secondary 1 in 2027. Schools release outcomes by 28 August 2026, and applicants submit their school-preference ranking by 23 October 2026, ahead of the PSLE results release in late November 2026.

When is the Polytechnic EAE for the 2027 intake?

The 2026 Polytechnic Early Admissions Exercise (EAE) feeds the AY2027 intake. The O-Level student application window ran 25 June to 1 July 2026, the final-year ITE student window 11 to 17 June 2026, and the working-adult window 1 to 28 June 2026 — all now closed for the 2026 cycle. Note the cycle year (2026) differs from the intake year (2027).

Are the 2027 school terms confirmed?

Yes. MOE published the 2027 school terms and holidays on 14 July 2026, and they are listed above: Term I runs 4 January to 12 March, Term II 22 March to 28 May, Term III 28 June to 3 September, and Term IV 13 September to 19 November 2027. Most other 2027 exam and admission windows are still unannounced. We do not publish dates MOE and SEAB have not released. Items listed separately below are not in this table for one of three reasons: SEAB publishes them in its own exam timetables rather than a calendar, individual schools or polytechnics set them so there is no single national date, or they are genuinely still unreleased.
