Singapore is reputed to
have one of the best education systems in the world. Singapore's
well-developed education system means foreign students
will have a balanced and well-rounded education that's
as equally recognised as Australia, America or any countries.
With the development of Asia and opening
of China, many parents now realized the importance of a
good education especially in the development of both the
English and Chinese language.
In recent years, more parents are choosing
Singapore as their children's destination for overseas education
because of the following advantages:
- Singapore education system is recognised
internationally. Main qualifications are the
British-style Cambridge University-administered General
Common Entrance (GCE) Ordinary
level (O level) and Advanced level (A level) examinations.
- Subjects are taught in English is
the main medium of instruction and students are free
to learn a second language like Chinese.
- School fees at government schools
are affordable.
- The English and Chinese speaking
environment in Singapore means foreign students have
many opportunities to improve their communication skills.
- Stable society, strict law and low
crime rate makes Singapore a safe and secure country.
- Asian students find it easier to
adjust to Singapore as our culture, food and weather
are similar.
- Singaporeans apply and use English
and Chinese in everyday life. Because of Singapore's
multicultural society, schools have adopted a bilingual
approach to education. English serves as the National
language, and students are free to learn a secondary
language like Chinese.
Studying in Singapore can save more
money than studying in far away countries in terms of course
fee, transport or distance calls. Foreign students will
have little difficulty adjusting to the new environment
because Singapore is similar to their home country in terms
of culture, weather, or food.
