新加坡的教育為何如此有吸引力?這得益於新加坡健全的教育體制,它將精英教育和分層教育踐行到了極致,讓優秀的學生能夠更好的發揮自己的優勢智能並走向卓越。不同於國內學生所要經歷的兩次大考:中考和高考,新加坡的學生進入小學後,便要為升學做準備。從小學二年級開始,學生至少要經歷5次的分流考試。
Why is Education so attractive in Singapore? This is thanks to Singapore's sound education system, which brings elite education and stratification education to the extreme, allowing outstanding students better play their advantages of intelligence and excellence. Unlike the two major exams that students in China go through: high school entrance examination and college entrance examination, students in Singapore start to prepare for testing once they enter primary school. From the second grade of primary school, students must go through at least five stratification tests.

小學二年級和四年級,學生需要通過一年4次對數學、英文、及華文的考核進行第二年的分班。而在小學三年級末,部分學生會報考錄取率僅有1%的GEP(Gifted Education Programme),即所謂的「天才教育計劃」。學生們將面臨三輪學術考核,及領導力和IQ測評。而開設GEP的小學均為新加坡的頂尖名校,包含新加坡儒廊小學、南華小學、南洋小學和萊佛士小學等。
In the second and fourth grades of primary school, students need to pass four assessments of Math, English, and Chinese for the second year. At the end of the third grade, some students will apply for the GEP (Gifted Education Program) with only 1% passing rate, which is the so-called " Genius Education Program ". Students will face three rounds of academic assessment, as well as leadership and IQ assessments. The GEP primary schools are among the top schools in Singapore, including Singapore Rulang Primary School, South China Primary School, Nanyang Primary School and Raffles Primary School.

在小學六年級即將升初中時,學生將面臨最關鍵的一次分流考試:PSLE(Primary School Leaving Examination)。這項考試是新加坡小學生壓力最大,家長們最為重視的一場考試,重視程度不亞於國內的高考。因為這項考試將決定學生是否會被「直通車」學校錄取,進入「直通車」學校的學生畢業後將直升初級學院精英課程,即國內重點高中。萊佛士初級學院、華中初級學院和國家初級學院均為新加坡著名的初級學院。
As they approach junior high school in the sixth grade, students will face one of the most critical tests: THE PSLE(Primary School Leaving Examination). Because this test will determine whether students will be admitted to the "through train" school, students who enter the "through train" school will be directly promoted to the elite curriculum of junior colleges. Raffles Junior College, Huazhong Junior College and National Junior College are all well-known junior colleges in Singapore.

沒有進入「直通車」學校的學生將在初中畢業後進行O-Level測試升入相應的高中。升讀大學時,學生將根據就讀的學校體系參加不同類型的測試進入理想的院校。新加坡完善的教育體制能夠讓學生無論處於哪一階段,就讀的是普通、私立還是國際學校,在每一次的分流考試中,學生都有機會進入高等學府,正所謂「條條大路通羅馬」。
Students who do not enter the "through train" school will be enrolled in the corresponding high school after graduating from junior high school with an O-Level test. When they go to college, students will take different types of tests according to the school system they attend and enter the ideal college. Singapore's sound education system allows students who attend ordinary, private or international schools at any stage and in every diversion exam, will have the opportunity to enter higher education institutions.




新加坡政府鼓勵百花齊放的教育理念,在步入小學前的幼兒階段更是如此。在新加坡,每一間幼兒園都有自己的特色。從語言上劃分,包括中英文、英文馬來語、英文和泰米爾語等等為特色的幼兒園。從體系上對比,新加坡擁有包括蒙台梭利、瑞吉歐、華德福和IB四種特色的幼兒園。透過新加坡學前教學大綱和教學成果看到,新加坡十分強調孩子從小進行社會行為準則、價值觀、道德觀的培養,並將孩子塑造成為具有未來勝任力的良好公民。
The Singapore Government encourages diversified education, especially in the early years. In Singapore, each kindergarten has its own characteristics, including kindergartens featuring Chinese-English, English-Malay, English-Tamil. Curriculum including Montessori, Reggio, Waldorf and IB are adopted by different Kindergartens. Through the Singapore pre-school syllabus and teaching results, Singapore places great emphasis on the development of social norms, values and ethics from early years, and shaping children into global citizens who are competent for the future.
