Cultural and Educational Environment 

Singapore is a developed country where many races live together in harmony, amongst which the Chinese make up 77%, the Malays 15% and the others 8% of the population. Singapore’s main language is the English language, but various races still retain their own mother tongue languages. Singapore’s government promotes racial harmony across the different cultures, creating this warmhearted environment where both the eastern and western cultures co-exist.

The Singapore government places great emphasis on education and invests heavily in this area, equipped with teaching facilities and staff of world-class standard. Due to the bilingualism education policy implemented by the Singapore government through the years, Singaporeans are able to master two or more languages. Under the encouragement of the Singapore government, more and more renowned universities globally are establishing their Asian branches in Singapore. Singapore has become Asia’s international education centre, with students coming from overseas to study here.
