SINGAPORE – 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.

While she scored A for her mother tongue and E for her General Paper and principles of accounting, she was unable to pass her business and mathematics examinations. Still, Ida said she is not disheartened by her grades, and is considering retaking the exams in 2027 after taking a year’s break from studying.

She said her four years in Prison School helped build up her confidence and taught her to open up to people, such as her fellow inmates.

“I hope they are aware that education is important,” she said. “If I could go back in time, I would take my studies more seriously and do as well as I can.”

When asked if she had any advice for students currently studying for the A-levels, she said: “Press on and persevere. Even if you fail, every failure will eventually lead to success.”
