SINGAPORE is aiming to become a “global schoolhouse” offering a broad range of learning opportunities, both traditional and online, from post-graduate industrial design programmes to niche broadcast, animation and culinary courses.
The city-state is on track to achieve its target of attracting at least 10 world-class educational institutions by 2008. At full capacity, these 10 institutions will generate more than 1,100 students for masters and doctoral degrees and educate more than 9,000 executives yearly.
