When sending a child to study abroad, there are many aspects to consider, such as public security, political stability, the education system, and the cost-effectiveness of studying overseas.
Today, AnjiaSG would like to recommend a country to parents preparing for their child’s overseas education. This country is socially stable, has excellent public security, a high visa success rate, and offers a rich and colorful student life. Where is this place? It is, of course, our very own Singapore!
1. Singapore is safe and stable, with a beautiful environment and convenient transportation. As one of the safest countries in the world, its crime rate is very low. The latest surveys show that Singapore is the region least affected by criminal gangs, with highly efficient police and few cases of corruption. The Singapore Police Force has the authority to detain political prisoners and secret society members who endanger national security and social stability, effectively deterring crime.
2. Singapore’s government’s official language is English, and the general population has a high proficiency in the language. Over 70% of Singapore’s population is Chinese, creating a unique bilingual environment that is extremely easy for students from Chinese-speaking backgrounds to adapt to. Most schools use English as the language of instruction, while Mandarin is a common second language. This allows students to become fluent in English without worrying about communication barriers in the initial period.
3. Courses are taught by qualified language or professional teachers registered with the Singapore Ministry of Education, complemented by modern educational facilities, ensuring a high standard of teaching for international students. Private schools have a “lenient entry, strict exit” policy, with some even surpassing public universities in various aspects. This is because the Singapore government has implemented a unified management and certification system for its private institutions, providing “EduTrust” certification to outstanding private schools.
4. Singapore’s education system is aligned with global standards, and its diplomas and degrees are internationally recognized.
5. Singapore’s educational goal is to provide a balanced education for everyone, adhering to the principle of teaching according to aptitude to fully develop each individual’s potential.
6. Education and living costs in Singapore are about 30% cheaper than in Europe. The total cost for tuition and living expenses is approximately 150,000 to 200,000 RMB per year. Compared to other countries, the cost of studying abroad is moderate. Additionally, various faculties and schools offer multiple scholarships and grants of up to 80%. After completing one semester, students can apply for part-time jobs. Students under 16 can apply for their mothers to accompany them, and mothers can legally work during this period.
7. Singaporean institutions offer a wide range of courses and degrees, with specialized programs in fields such as business, electronics, arts, accounting, and humanities.
8. After graduating from professional courses in Singapore, job opportunities are high and career prospects are broad compared to other countries. The post-graduation employment rate is over 85%.
9. High visa success rate. The visa approval process for studying in Singapore is relatively simple and fast. If you enroll in a government or international school, the visa is applied for directly with the Singapore Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA), and the process is quite quick. If you enroll in a private school, the applicant must attend an interview at the Singapore Embassy in Beijing, which generally takes 5-6 months.
