INDIAN educators spent three days in Singapore recently to get an insight into Singapore's education system.
Their trip was sponsored by the Singapore Tourism Board as part of a familiarisation trip for educators and to promote Singapore to their students.
They visited various schools - from universities and polytechnics to art institutes.
Dr Amrita Das, principal of the Calcutta International School, one of the 10 educators invited for the trip, told tabla! that she was "immensely impressed" with Singapore's education system.
Singapore's proximity to India, its reputation for safety as well as the high quality of teachers and facilities, made it attractive to Indian students.
"I was just in the US touring their schools as well. I can tell you Singapore is in no way inferior to the West."
