Education In Singapore

As an afterthought!

Education in Singapore

Styled like An orchestra

WHAT to expect residents of an educational system? For the layman

though certainly know that all it takes is at least curriculum

good, good teachers, adequate facilities, and low cost, if you can.

Then the rest is probably the conducive environment, competitiveness

high, as well as all the other aspects that are outside the school room.

SEEM it is available in Singapore. Comparison of the education system

in Singapore and Indonesia as the earth and sky it. Department

Singapore Education (Ministry of Education) seem more

work and give great attention to the development of education than

utilize education as a source of sustenance for persons or

employees of the department.

From primary school to university, for example, students are monitored

and directed to get the education that suits him. So, do not

all decent citizens or free admission in Singapore universities. For them

who does not deserve to go to university in Singapore, is free to choose

study abroad in accordance with the parent's ability, but not free

enter university in Singapore if not pass certain tests.

With a per capita income of more than 24,000 U.S. dollars per year,

Singapore is the richest in the world. However, Singapore is not

generalize that all citizens must be able to. School fees in Singapore

relatively inexpensive. What is needed is beyond tuition costs as

supporting the smooth schools, transportation, books, and more.

For families who can not afford, the government provides scholarships if

necessary. It is provided to ensure that poverty is not an obstacle to

education.

Although the car is not an issue for most people in Singapore, for

smooth transport children available various modes

transportation, ranging from MRT, combined with a series of city buses that have access to

all schools. For transportation to and from the Nanyang Technological

University (NTU), for example, there are various bus lines that divide

entrance to the university complex in Jurong.

What else? Classrooms, library, cafeteria, and place

relax is also available. The classrooms are clean and organized can make students

see the teacher or professor and vice versa lecturer or teacher can monitor

all of their students. Classroom equipped with equipment that allows teachers

done through a slide presentation that is inherent in every room

school and did not have to bother every time you make a presentation. Do

reluctant to eat in school canteens, kind enough, relatively healthy,

and cheaper.

Internet access to the classrooms are also available and free

simply by signing up to get the ID of schools and universities. Case

it was deliberately done to make students have easy access

obtain information. Sometimes the lesson material has also been on display in

Internet sites that make students can access on-line.

Lecturers and teachers in Singapore are also no less professional.

With relatively adequate salaries, the people turned to be a teacher. Not

all the teachers are from Singapore itself.

With a small population, just over 4 million people, Singapore

require a supply teacher. To that sometimes teachers come from

other countries. For the university level, for example, NTU and the National University of

Singapore (NUS) did not hesitate to offer higher salaries to match salaries in the

Harvard Business School. "We do have to compete and offer

considerable stimulus to be able to attract people who have

talents of the world, "said lecturer at NTU, Ang Wah Poo.

NTU lecturers, for example, not the least being the

great in their home country and then recruited as a lecturer in Singapore.

The problem, Singapore intends to establish itself as the central

world-class education, having managed to make himself as

pe excellent health care centers in Southeast Asia.

Activities at the university and in the schools is not limited to event

routine teaching and learning in classrooms. Appear almost every month

guest speakers of international caliber to bring new topics

found in the world.

Singapore government did not hesitate to bring in, for example, Michael

Porter, Philip Kottler, renowned management experts in the world, as well as

lecturers of international caliber that is expensive tariff but not Singapore

stingy about it.

So, in addition to gain knowledge, students are also given the enlightenment

attend free seminars but very high quality. Do not

Imagine presenting them as teachers or lecturers who

recruited to be a teacher just like P4 that makes us sleepy country

the New Order era.

Crazy again, schools, universities, and educational institutions in Singapore

do not stop glancing at the development of education in other countries. Hence,

emerged as an alliance between business schools and the Sloan School at NTU

of Management at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Such an alliance was left alone stimulated by each

faculty. University only gave consent. Autonomy of each

faculty is made in such a high and left unable to think

self development. Matter of funding, it seems not to be

problem. NTU, for example, already has endowment fund of the government of 200

million Singapore dollars.

So, do not be surprised if NTU, NUS and Singapore Management University

easily build an alliance with Harvard University, the Wharton School, and

Other first-class universities in the U.S.. International cooperation

education is also done by many countries. However, the advancement of education in the U.S.

make Singapore more oriented to the U.S..

Singapore students often get the opportunity to

conducted a study tour to explore the world. For students who are able to be left

pay for itself, but to the university subsidy. However, for the

not capable of available scholarships that allow them to stay in the hotel,

such as the JW Marriott. Imagine, for example, over one and a half months of student

Graduate Fellowship at Nanyang MBA Programme lived in apartments

managed by JW Marriott in Boston.

So, the issue is not on the facilities and scholarships. Students stay

provide the time and inclination to learn to persevere without being bothered by

lack of funding.

Not only that, the Government of Singapore is not only willing to educate

citizens, but also willing to recruit prospective students and students of

neighboring countries and with the offer of scholarships and employment opportunities in

Singapore. Therefore, do not be surprised if there is a Malay residents of Padang to Klaten

learning in Singapore with assistance, including plane fare go

home during the holidays.

Singapore aware of the potential labor shortages. Intention Singapore

to offer scholarships not just to make them as energy in

Singapore one day. For students who return to work in the country

origin, at least expected to be people who know and love with

Singapore and Singapore could be the network at a later date.

Not only that, by inviting students from the outside, the Government

Singapore used to automatically create a citizens associate internationally when

still in school. That's according to position Singapore as a hub

regionally so that citizens do not become like the frog under the shell.

Speaking of syllabus and curriculum, the department of education in Singapore

works every time for evaluation. Each new development has always

inserted in the new syllabus.

So, that education in Singapore, not only provides a means

and a good infrastructure, but continued to perform up-dating of the years to

years. It was all done as the embodiment of the vision and mission of education in

Singapore.

Not only that, the climate of competition among families and communities in

Singapore became one of the key secrets of success in education

Singapore. Imagine, parents, colleagues, spouse, or boyfriend as "forcing" students

and students to become a champion or not at all. There are only

a champion of the people. However, with the principle that all men racing

get the best value and not infrequently a large number of students

have the same value of A it all.

What is the lack of education in Singapore? There is no comparison

with education in Indonesia, for example. Which may still be less

is the courage of students and student talk in the classroom and

question the veracity of the system of the state are not so free. Student

Singapore is not so talkative in class such as people. This is what

recognized by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong (BG Lee). Freedom of expression is a nationally

Singapore turned out to have an impact on the style classes. So, now BG Lee

offers a new paradigm, namely freedom of speech.

You see, strange indeed if any student in the class must be friendly and

according. Is not education intends to seek the truth on that one,

including Singapore-style dictatorship that was started by former Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew,

berkoak banning opposition-coax?
