Singapore
Singapore is one of the most enthusiastic countries about
education in Asia. Government is eager for the
further improvement.
In Singapore, students have to pass a tough exam in order to
complete each course of 6-4-2 system. It is the result of the
achievement test they take before graduation that is important when
students go on to the next stage of education. Therefore, enthusiasm
for education is going on increasing. Especially, competition to
enter university is awfully tough. This is because entering an
university is also an entrance for a life as an elite. In Singapore,
there are only two universities; Singapore Univ.(national) and the
South Seas Technical College, and therefore, the score of the final
exam means a lot to one's life.
Education in Singapore is strictly competitive as above, but also
its language education is remarkable. As a multi-racial nation,
students are taught to be able to speak two or more languages such as
English, Chinese, Malay and so on.
