Singapore Education System

Singapore's education system is known for its high standards and strong emphasis on academic achievement. It consists of several levels: primary, secondary, and post-secondary education. Students typically begin primary school at age 7, followed by four to five years of secondary education, which can be academic or vocational. The system uses a centralized curriculum, with national exams like the Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE) and the GCE O-Level and A-Level to assess student progress. Additionally, the system values holistic development, incorporating co-curricular activities alongside academic subjects, striving to nurture well-rounded individuals ready for a competitive global environment.
