Singapore and India have a lot in common. Both are former British colonies where English is widely spoken and understood. Besides, a lot of Singapore’s citizens are of Indian origin. In fact, the very name Singapore is of Indian origin.

Conclusion
The excellence of Indian schools and other international schools in Singapore is well-acknowledged by both locals and expats. What’s common to both systems of education is the fact that the medium of instruction is English, which is something that works wonderfully well in the Singaporean context, where English is an official language.
The presence of a very large number of Indians and other English-speaking expats makes these schools very popular. That is also on account of the fact that English-speaking Singaporeans are also partial to these schools. Going forward, we can expect these schools to continue to play a very vital role in educating the children of Singapore – both expat and local.
The education system of Singapore is famed to be amongst the best in the world and these schools constitute an important part of it. Going forward, these schools will continue to be an important pillar of the Singapore education system.
