Singapore was founded as
a British trading colony in 1819. It joined the Malaysian Federation
in 1963 but separated two years later and became independent.
It subsequently became one of the world's most prosperous countries
with strong international trading links (its port is one of the
worlds busiest in terms of tonnage handled) and with per capita
GDP equal to that of the leading nations of Western Europe.
It is an island in Southeastern Asia in
between Malaysia and Indonesia. The climate is tropical; hot,
humid, rainy with two distinct monsoon seasons
- Northeastern monsoon from December to March and Southwestern
monsoon from June to September.
Singapore has a highly-developed and successful
free-market economy. It enjoys a remarkably open and corruption-free
environment, stable prices, and a per capita GDP equal to that
of the four largest West European countries. The economy depends
heavily on exports, particularly in consumer electronics and information
technology products. It was hard hit from 2001-03 by the global
recession, by the slump in the technology sector, and by an outbreak
of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) in 2003, which curbed
tourism and consumer spending. Fiscal stimulus, low interest rates,
a surge in exports, and internal flexibility led to vigorous growth
in 2004-06 with real GDP growth averaging 7% annually. The government
hopes to establish a new growth path that will be less vulnerable
to the global demand cycle for information technology products
- it has attracted major investments in pharmaceuticals and medical
technology production - and will continue efforts to establish
Singapore as Southeast Asia's financial and high-tech hub.
Educational System:
Singapore has one of the most advanced and recognized
education systems in the world, with excellent infrastructure
and human resource support. Singapore has invested heavily in
teacher training, curriculum development and information technology
to prepare its students to face the challenges of competing in
a knowledge-based economy. Scholars will have an exciting journey
awaiting them when they arrive in Singapore.
Singapore is one of the
premier education hubs in Asia. It offers a diverse and distinctive
mix of educational opportunities in a safe, cosmopolitan, comfortable
and competitive environment. The educational system in Singapore
covers a broad-based curriculum and includes a global perspective
to equip students for the challenges ahead. Our educational institutions
are also equipped with the most advanced educational tools and
facilities to aid them in their mission. In Singapore, we value
education as the most important means of helping our young to
realize their potential. Students will acquire the relevant skills
and abilities to survive in competitive environments and be equipped
for a brighter future.
Singapore, more or less, follows the British System of Education.
Grade 12 Graduates are eligible for admission into Bachelor’s
courses or Diploma level courses. Singapore is also very reputed
for Masters level studies, particularly with Business majors.
The Singapore MBA is extremely valued throughout the world and
an Indian Bachelor’s level graduate will find easy entry
into the above provided he/she meets all the institutional criteria.
