Hub for Educational Excellence -- Singapore, a Global
Schoolhouse
Over the
years, Singapore has evolved from its traditional British-based
education system to one that endeavours to meet the needs of
individuals and seeks to nurture talents.
The strength of Singapore's Education system lies in its bilingual policy (English with Malay/Mandarin/Tamil) and a broad-based curriculum where innovation and entrepreneurship command a premium. Individuals acquire the relevant skills and abilities to survive in competitive environments, equipped for a brighter future.
Singapore's public schools have a distinctive record of high standards in teaching and learning, illustrated by international comparative studies such as the Third International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) that showed the majority of students from Singapore schools outperforming the international average in Mathematics and Science. Our students have also excelled in competitions such as world debating championships (English) and International Olympiads (Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and Biology), ousting counterparts from other countries to clinch top prizes and distinctions.
At the tertiary level, in addition to boasting 3
locally grown universities, Singapore has attracted 10 world-class
institutions with strong industry links to set up centres of
excellence in education and research. Among them are respected
names such as the leading French university - INSEAD, the renowned
Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and leading US business
schools such as University of Chicago Graduate School of
Business.
Even after graduating into the workforce, there are numerous opportunities for further training. Professional and skills-based training are offered and popularly subscribed to. It is not uncommon to see the likes of seminars by management gurus like Michael Porter or lectures by visiting dignitaries.
The presence of such an international mix of institutions, a high quality and rigorous education system, and a nation that believes in investing in education, will together offer students here and all over the world, an enriching and fulfilling learning journey.
