Singapore’s educational system provides a world – class education for its students be it, local Singaporeans or international students. Singapore’s excellent and well sorted framework has guided Singapore to becoming a “Global Schoolhouse” offering a diverse and distinctive mix of educational services in a safe, cosmopolitan and comfortable environment. In order to study in Singapore it is extremely important to understand the education system of Singapore. For your convenience we have simplified it for your better understanding.
Currently, Singapore’s education sector is branched out into two major divisions – Public and Private Universities. The six local universities in Singapore – the National University of Singapore (NUS), the Nanyang Technological University (NTU), the Singapore Management University (SMU), the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD), the Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT), and the SIM University (UniSIM) – offer specialized courses across diverse disciplines. Specialized institutions have also sprung up, both local and international. The courses offered range from certificate to postgraduate levels. Through partnership with renowned international universities from various countries such as Singapore, UK and USA, private schools offer students the opportunity to attain international certification in Singapore’s comfortable and affordable environment.
To ensure that the private schools in Singapore safeguard student’s interests and welfare through high quality and regulatory standards, Singapore has put in place an Education Excellence Framework, consisting of two key initiatives:
Case Trust for Education,
was launched by the Consumer Association of Singapore (CASE) for Private Education Organizations (PEOs). The scheme ensures good quality student welfare / protection practices and standards. Since 2005, only PEOs who have obtained the Case Trust for Education status are allowed to admit international students in their programs in Singapore
Singapore Quality Class for Private Education Organizations (SQC_PEO)
is administered by SPRING Singapore. The SQC_PEO scheme serves as the industry standard for organisation excellence in the private education sector.
