Unlike most students who anxiously waited to collect their A-level results on Feb 21, Ida (not her name) had motivations beyond just applying for higher education. She hoped to inspire her two children, whom she sees only occasionally, to work hard and not give up on their dreams. Ida, who went to prison in 2015, is serving a 25-year sentence for drug trafficking. “I want (my children) to know that even though I’m coming to 40 years old, and I have white hair, education is important, and I haven’t stopped studying,” the 38-year-old said in an interview with The Straits Times. “If I can do it, then they can do it too.” Ida, who has a 13-year-old daughter and a nine-year-old son, was one of 13 students who took the A-level exams in Prison School in 2024. Each year, more than 300 inmates further their education in the Prison School, which is located inside Institution Tanah Merah 1 (formerly known as Tanah Merah Prison). It runs academic classes of various levels, including General Education (GE) courses, Normal Academic (NA), Ordinary (O) and Advanced (A) Levels.
