Education in Singapore is called elite education. On the basis of inheriting the British education system, this educational system has added its own unique educational concept and model, striving for perfection in the quality of education, focusing on cultivating children, helping children discover their own strengths, tap their own potential and cultivate their enthusiasm for learning.
As for the characteristics of education, the first is "bilingualism". Singapore implements bilingual teaching, with the exception of mother tongue classes, the rest are taught in English. Lay a good foundation for children's English from an early age. If children want to learn a third language, the school also encourages them to take classes according to the language they are interested in.
Secondly, the "streaming test", that is to say, through the streaming test, children are divided into different classes according to their grades and learn knowledge of different difficulties, so that every child can learn an acceptable level, which is what we often say, teaching students in accordance with their aptitude can better play everyone's characteristics. After the fourth grade of primary school, I passed the exam for the first time, the second time when I graduated from the sixth grade of primary school, and the third time when I graduated from middle school. The best 30% enter junior college and preparatory school, that is, domestic high schools.
Children also lay a good foundation for their employment and future development in the process of learning, because they have bilingual or even multilingual ability since childhood and have better employment and work opportunities. Through the thinking ability cultivated since childhood, they can use it flexibly in their work. There is still a chance to apply for an immigrant visa. Enjoy more benefits and treatment.
medical system
Singapore's medical system is famous for its high efficiency, and it is the Asian country with the strongest ability to cope with major medical crises. Singapore's medical security system embodies the principles of fairness and efficiency, forms a diversified and reasonable financing mechanism, and pays attention to the different roles of the government and the market in the allocation of medical security resources.
Because Singapore has established a perfect medical care mechanism, patients can enjoy comprehensive and thoughtful medical services at reasonable cost anytime and anywhere. More than 400,000 people go to Singapore for medical consultation every year.
Singapore's medical and health care system is famous for its first-class medical level and remarkable therapeutic effect, and it is equally famous with mainstream medical and health care institutions in developed countries. Major medical and health institutions have also established a very solid cooperative relationship with the world's top medical centers, and doctors in Singapore have also ranked first in the world in medical research.
Government subsidies, health savings, health insurance and medical care funds are combined to integrate vertical self-accumulation with horizontal social mutual assistance and the government's ultimate protection for the poor, so that every Singaporean can get good basic medical services. The Singapore government gives more subsidies to all citizens' health care services (allocated to hospitals according to the amount of services provided).
Patients who receive outpatient service in national clinics only need to pay 50% of the service fee, children and elderly people over 60 only need to pay 25%, and the rest are subsidized by the government.
On the premise that the government bears the expenses in the form of subsidies, Singapore has taken three powerful measures: health savings plan, health insurance dual plan and health fund plan. Among them, the medical insurance savings plan and the medical insurance fund plan reflect the government's function of ensuring basic fairness.
The style of Singapore's medical system is very similar to that of Britain, which is rigorous and cautious. Public hospitals also bear an important responsibility, guarding the last level from students to doctors. In Singapore, medical university students must go to public hospitals for a period of study, training and service after graduation.
In Singapore, every child needs to be vaccinated, including diphtheria vaccine, hepatitis B vaccine, measles vaccine, mumps vaccine, pertussis vaccine, polio vaccine, rubella vaccine, tetanus vaccine and tuberculosis vaccine. The health department clearly stipulates that all preschool children must be vaccinated.
Singapore has one of the safest blood supply services in the world. Singapore Blood Transfusion Medical Center is internationally renowned for its high standard of safe blood use and blood transfusion service management. It was designated as a partner of the World Health Organization.
