Singapore's study abroad policy: the gospel of studying abroad at a young age

Singapore is one of the few countries in the world that accept studying abroad at a young age, and there are opportunities for kindergarten to doctoral students. This paper will discuss Singapore's study abroad policy to help parents better understand the study abroad process and examination requirements.

Policy of studying abroad at a young age

Singapore is one of the few countries in the world that accept studying abroad at a young age. Children under the age of 6 can enter kindergarten or the first grade of primary school without test.

Primary and secondary school entrance examination

Children aged 7- 16 need to pass the Singapore government entrance examination for primary and secondary schools (AEIS), and children aged 16 need to pass O-level or A-level to enter higher education institutions.

AEIS exam

AEIS is a unified examination for foreign students in primary and secondary schools, twice a year, only taking math and English.

O-level examination

After passing the exam, the treatment will be very different. AEIS candidates will enter public primary and secondary schools and take the O-level exam as graduates of public secondary schools in Singapore after graduation. However, it is an international student status for China students to take the O-level exam directly.

Mother-child companion reading policy

The gospel of young students (1under 6 years old) is coming! The Singapore government allows mothers and children to accompany them. After students are admitted to government primary and secondary schools, their mothers can get permission to accompany them to work legally in Singapore.

Changes in the study abroad market

At present, high school students are still the main force studying abroad, but with the changes in the study abroad market, junior high school students will gradually take their place.
