Located off the southern coast of
Malaysia, Singapore is a country rich
with history and culture. According to
Malay legend, Singapore was originally
named Singapura by a Sumatran
prince after he encountered a lion.
This encounter was considered
good luck, and thus, ‘Singapura’
was founded.
The hot and humid lowlands of
Singapore are brimming with diverse
cultures, languages and religions.
The country is host to numerous
attractions that reflect the many
interests of its people.
Festivals also display the cultural
diversity of Singapore. The Chinese
New Year is celebrated with dancing
and parades, while Hari Raya Puasa
is held after Ramadan.
Education is among the top priorities
for the five million people of Singapore
and is the government’s second largest
expense. Mandatory schooling is
enforced for six years of primary school
and four years of secondary school.
There are now 16 leading foreign
universities from Europe, USA and Asia
with substantial activities in Singapore.
Combined with the outstanding
local universities, they help form an
education hothouse that is envied
throughout the region.

Singapore hosts more than 70,000
international students, drawn to the
offer of an extensive range of high
quality educational programmes and
the promise of a safe, cosmopolitan
environment. It is still ranked as the
best location in the world for Asians
to live (ECA International 2010).
With a foreigner-local ratio of 1:4
and university enrolment of foreign
students at 20% of yearly intake,
Singapore continues to demonstrate
its favourable reception of differing
cultures.
Singapore has coupled diverse Asian
school systems with Western-styled
education practices in the creation of
a truly global education hub, where
students have the best institutions in
the world within reach.
