In a country lacking in natural resources, human talent becomes the most valuable
resource. As a result, significant emphasis is placed on education in Singapore.
Education is inexpensive, but even at that, financial assistance through
scholarships and bursaries is provided for needy students from primary to
tertiary levels.
Starting at the age of 5, a typical student goes through 2 years of
kindergarten, 6 years of primary school, 4 or 5 years of secondary school,
2 years of Junior College leading to the GCE A Levels, and 3 or 4 years of
university education.
