About Singapore
Singapore is a beautiful country not only in terms of business, but in the case of education also, it is considered to be one of the best countries in the world. Singapore’s quality education system, along with the developed economy, attracts students from India, China, Burma and other Asian countries. This is the reason that the number of Indian students coming here is continuously increasing. The good thing is that the environment of Singapore is also quite a familiar for Indian students because the number of Indian students in various educational institutions here is very high.
As Singapore is the Country with very less natural resources, Human Resource is considered to be the main capital. In this case education is seen as a key for knowledge-based economy. Because of the availability of good talents here, almost all multinational companies have maintained their centres at Singapore. According to one estimate, 87 thousand international students are studying in Singapore, in which the number of Indian students is growing by 20 percent each year.
As the number of migrant students in Singapore continues to grow, Singapore Government is making all necessary efforts to make the education system ‘global’ for this purpose. In this regard, the establishment of accredited education centres of almost all universities of the world is being encouraged. Here some of Europe’s top business schools are there; on the other hand there are branches of the world-famous university of the US such as the University of Chicago, MIT and Stanford. Therefore, if it can be said that the students enrolled here may get the most different and pleasant opportunity of education, then there will be no wrong.
Experts, industry and bourgeoisie are sitting to develop the business idea of youth in the Enterprise Centre of the National University of Singapore. Young people approach the business on the lower floor with their business ideas. If the idea is approved there, there are representatives of the industry on the upper floors. Even if they get ideas, then the representatives of the bourgeoisie are sitting on the next floor. If there is a positive talk then you are given full help with the Business Idea in the market.
There is a similar concept in Singapore’s Institute of Technical Education. This government institution open for vocational courses is not enough to surprise itself. A large part of this institute has been given to retail outlets, where common public purchases commodities. In these shops, the students of the institute work as trainees. Students take training in real shops of salon, bakery, optical etc. Their practical training connects them directly to the industry.
