Jurong Junior College

Jurong Junior College (JJC) was a junior college located in Jurong West, Singapore. It was the ninth junior college to be established by the Ministry of Education of Singapore. History Jurong Junior College was first situated at West Coast Road. The college started in April 1981 and opened its doors to the first batch of students in 1982. In January 1985, Jurong Junior College was relocated to 800 Corporation Road. Jurong Junior College was designated as the 4th Language Elective Programme (Chinese) Centre by the MOE on 9 April 2005. The Chinese Language Elective Programme (CLEP) aimed to encourage students who were interested to further their studies in Chinese Language and Literature. Merger On 20 April 2017, the Ministry of Education announced the merger of several junior colleges including that of JJC which was to merge with Pioneer Junior College (PJC). The merged school will be located at the site of PJC. In 2018 it was announced that the merged JC will retain the original names of both schools - Jurong Pioneer Junior College. The merger was in view of the declining cohort sizes since 2014, which was attributed to the fall in Singapore's birth rate.
