Rich pickings in India for Singapore's education sector

SINGAPORE is poised to become a Smart Nation and is leaving no stone unturned in this journey. Various projects for facilitating smart living are already underway. While the country is focusing on use of digital technology to improvise key elements such as transport, home, business, health and public services, it is also emphasising education and skills development to ensure its nationals are future-ready.

Singapore's education system is highly respected. Universities such as National University of Singapore and Nanyang Technological University feature at the top in global university rankings.

However, access to quality education and classroom learning may not always be enough to ensure employability and sustainability. Achieving skill mastery and continually upgrading individual learning and skills is critical in today's economic environment. Singapore has been quick to realise this and has been increasing its focus on imparting skills of the future to its people.
