Education Excellence in Singapore

• This country has a strong education system in place that governs the quality and delivery of private education in this country.
• The Case Trust for Education Scheme existed in this country has student protection policies, welfare practices, and standards in place. The Case Trust for Education Scheme is mandatory to all institutions that enrol foreign students. Hence, every private institution in Singapore needs to qualify for the Case Trust for Education certification if they want to accommodate foreign students in an academic year.
• The SQC-PEO or the Singapore Quality Class for Private Education Organizations scheme actually serves as an industry benchmark for academic and business excellence. Though this certification is not mandatory to all institutions, it will definitely benefit the institution by way of fast track processing of student visa and waiver of security deposits.
