Education in Singapore is managed by the Ministry of Education (MOE), which

controls the development and administration of state schools receiving government

funding, but also has an advisory and supervisory role in respect of private schools. For
both private and state schools, there are variations in the extent of autonomy in their
curriculum, scope of government aid and funding, tuition burden on the students, and
admission policy.[1]

Children with disabilities attend special education (SPED) schools run by Voluntary
Welfare Organisations (VWOs), which are partially funded by the Ministry of Education.
Education spending usually makes up about 20 per cent of the annual national budget,
which subsidises state education and government-assisted private education for
Singaporean citizens and funds the Edusave programme, the costs for which are
significantly higher for non-citizens.

In 2000 the Compulsory Education Act[2] codified compulsory education for children of
primary school age, and made it a criminal offence for parents to fail to enroll their
children in school and ensure their regular attendance.[3] Exemptions are allowed for
homeschooling or full-time religious institutions, but parents must apply for exemption
from the Ministry of Education and meet a minimum benchmark.[4]. Special needs
children are automatically exempted from compulsory education.

In Singapore, English is the first language learned by half the children by the time they
reach preschool age and becomes the primary medium of instruction by the time they
reach primary school. English is the language of instruction for most subjects, especially
mathematics and the natural sciences; the official Mother Tongue languages are generally
not taught in English, although there is provision for the use of English at the initial
stages. Certain schools, such as secondary schools under the Special Assistance Plan
(SAP), which encourages a richer use of the mother tongue, may teach occasionally in
English and another language. A few schools have been experimenting with curricula that
integrate language subjects with mathematics and the sciences, using both English and a
second language.

Singapore's education system has been described as "world-leading" and in 2010 was
among those picked out for praised by the British education minister Michael Gove.[5]

Foreign System Schools, or International Schools, offer you the opportunity to pursue
an education similar to the one in your country of origin. Registered with the Ministry of
Education, they follow guidelines and curriculum identical to those in their home
country.

Singapore has a number of International Schools granting admission to foreign students

and permanent residents. Some International Schools impose minimum requirements for
admission, such as language proficiency or nationality. The criteria vary with each
school.
Fees per year generally range from S$4,600 to S$14,000 for the lower grades and
S$6,000 to S$20,000 for the upper grades. The school year and semesters also differ from
school to school.

Three of Singapore’s top schools, Anglo-Chinese School (ACS), Hwa Chong Institution
and St Joseph’s Institution have established private arms. The first 2 schools admitted
their first intake of students in January 2005, while the 3rd will open its doors to students
in January 2007.

Set up under the entities of ACS International, Hwa Chong International and SJI
International respectively, the 3 schools offer secondary and post-secondary education.
ACS International offers the International General Certificate of Secondary Education
(IGCSE) and the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP), Hwa Chong
International offers a secondary and pre-university programme culminating in the
Cambridge GCE A Levels certificate, while SJI International will offer an international
curriculum leading to the International Baccalaureate Diploma.

University Program – Putera Sampoerna University

“To develop a world class University based on academic excellence, life-skills and
character development to raise the standards of national leadership, professionalism
and human capital with equal access for all through subsidized education.”

With the aim of addressing the needs of Indonesia and its masses, the Foundation
embarked on building an international-standard University, which will give birth to the
country’s future leaders and help it reach its full potential. Supplementing the
government’s education initiatives, the Foundation will focus on providing deserving
teens from the lowest economic quintile a world class tertiary education with the goal of
developing these unique individuals to become competent leaders that possess moral
integrity and a commitment to social justice. As a key component of Putera Sampoerna’s
“Pathway to Leadership” strategy, the University is designed to be a microcosm of a
leading American university. The ultimate aim would be to establish a university that
becomes a world class higher education model for Indonesia, with best practices and a
strong international and local faculty that would accommodate young visionaries and
potential leaders who would positively contribute to society and economic development.

This would be done through the formation of a consortium with other world class
universities, each, or in concert, investing an equity stake and management lead in their
respective areas of specialization and school disciplines.

This would allow the University to provide affordable, quality tertiary education for the
financially disadvantaged, allowing them access to international programs and faculty,
real-world experience, research and development facilities, leading-edge technology,
private sector engagement and life-long learning opportunities through distributed
learning.

Sampoerna School of Education (SSE)

“To improve the quality of education by developing professionally trained and
qualified teachers through world class instructional techniques and teaching
methods.”

The School of Education was established in September 2009 as the first step and integral
part of the larger University project. It will be the first tertiary faculty under PSFU that
will offer principally the 4-year undergraduate Bachelor of Education (B.Ed) program.
The school will also provide innovative forms of curriculum and delivery strategies for
teacher education.

With the aim of attracting the highest quality students to become leading educators in
society with an appropriate mix of strong academics and personal qualities, SSE aims to
set the highest standards as future leaders in their profession. Graduates should possess
strong moral values to become role models equipped with quality teaching skills and best
practices, making them highly employable and in demand.

SSE will promote the principles of life-long learning and knowledge acquisition as a
continuum, in order to create a new generation of teachers for the 21st century.
Leveraging on the past successes of the PSF Teacher Institute with more than 14,000
teachers and principals trained, SSE is the first private teacher institute in Indonesia that
implements an international quality curriculum and teaching methodology. Through
strategic partnerships and alliances with the National Institute of Education, Singapore's
premier center for teacher training, the Principal's Academy of Singapore and Edith
Cowan University, Australia, the SSE aims to establish the Asia Pacific Centre of
Excellence for Teacher Education and Innovation in the near future.
