The government attaches great importance to the advantages of studying abroad: Since the founding of the People’s Republic of China in 1965, the government has attached great importance to the development of education, and has always regarded the development of education as the basic national policy to realize the modernization of the country.
Every year, about 19% of Singapore’s budget is allocated to education, and as much as 3% to 4% of the GDP is allocated to the development of education. If added to the S $500 million allocated to the Education Savings Fund account, the per capita education expenditure is close to S $1,400.
It is also pointed out from the Overview of Education in Singapore that the Ministry of Education of Singapore has always been committed to cultivating every student so that they can fully display their talents and give full play to their potential, and cultivate their interest in lifelong learning.
Bilingual Teaching: It is known to all that Singapore is bilingual, but the students in Singapore are much better at learning English than in China.
In Singapore primary schools, the vocabulary of the first grade has surpassed that of the Chinese fourth and fifth grades.
As a bilingual teaching country.
The official language of Singapore is English. Throughout the primary and secondary school curriculum, all classes are taught in English, and Chinese is taught as a second foreign language.
Chinese students studying in Singapore primary schools can learn English from an early age to lay a solid language foundation for their future study abroad.
Teaching quality: Singapore ranks first almost every year in the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Assessment (TIMSS) test.
In the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), Singapore ranked first in maths, reading and science.
Singapore and the UK belong to the same A-level system, the educational environment is similar, and the local students and the application steps are the same, studying in the UK elite schools has advantages.
Singapore is an ideal springboard to study abroad in Europe and the United States. Students can transfer to a third country to start their university life and study after completing their secondary school courses in Singapore.
Quality training: Primary and secondary school students in Singapore attend half-day courses. In the remaining half day, they will participate in a variety of extracurricular activities that they are interested in, such as design and craft, art and labor, civic and moral education, sports and music, etc. Almost every school has dozens of extracurricular activities.
Accompanying school policy: Singapore is the only country in the world that allows mothers to accompany their children in school.
Such a policy enables students to study in Singapore at ease and complete their studies at ease.
Low tuition fee: It is much less than that of private schools in China. By studying in primary and secondary schools of the Singapore government, students can receive good education in Commonwealth countries from an early age, which is a good preparation for them to go to universities in Singapore or to study in Britain, the United States or Australia in the future. Such expenditure is low and well worth it.
Application Time and Course Connection: Students are accepted as long as space is available and can apply throughout the year.
However, due to the language difference between China and Singapore, Singapore is a Commonwealth country, and local children are taught in English from kindergarten, so Chinese students may have to drop their grades or apply at the same level when connecting.
The curriculum is based entirely on the child’s level.
