Singapore:
Singapore's primary schools are six-year and divided into classes, and students from primary one to primary four receive the same basic education. Schools will divert students according to their abilities.
Secondary schools are divided into four-year and five-year programs. The four-year system is a fast class. In the fourth year, you must take the national unified Singapore O-level exam, and your grades decide to go to junior high schools and polytechnics. The five-year program is an ordinary class, and in the fourth year, I take the N-level exam to prepare for entering the Institute of Technology and Education. Of course, if the students' grades are good enough, they can take the O-level exam in the fifth year and enter junior college or science and engineering like four-year students.
Three-year high school system and two-year dictatorship, after the course study, take the A-level exam and apply for the university. Science and technology is a three-year junior college course, including theory and practice. Graduates with excellent grades will be exempted from the first year of college courses.
China:

The three-year junior high school system varies according to different regions. Take the senior high school entrance examination after completing the annual system.
The three-year high school system varies from region to region. Take the college entrance examination after completing the annual plan.
Comparison of overseas education
Nowadays, studying abroad has become a trend. For bilingual Singapore, applying for universities in North America and Australia has language advantages. Because almost all countries in Singapore have visa-free passports, it is not a problem for Singaporean children to study abroad.
Children in Singapore are free to choose to study in Singapore or overseas after graduating from high school. And have the right and advantage to choose the eastern education mode and the western education mode freely.
Moreover, many universities in the United States, Australia and other countries have cooperated with educational institutions in Singapore to jointly set up universities in Singapore.
Compared with Singaporean students, China students can't keep up with the freedom of education in the West on the visa issue, and because China's mother tongue is not English, students still face language barriers in studying in the West. The biggest problem is that the average income of parents of overseas students in China is far from that of Singaporean families. These are all obstacles for students to accept the western education model.
Comparison of educational attitudes
In Singapore, parents prefer to let their children enjoy childhood happiness freely. China's parents want their children to succeed and learn more.
The assignments assigned by schools in Singapore are quite different from those in China.
In addition to consolidating the classroom content, their homework also includes open homework such as questioning knowledge. This not only increases knowledge, but also cultivates students' thinking ability.
It is also worth mentioning that after school, all students need to participate in extracurricular activities, namely CCA. The so-called curriculum auxiliary activities, you can understand as elective courses. CCA can be found in Singapore from the second grade of primary school to university. The content includes art, sports and so on. Which one to choose depends entirely on your hobby.
