The Leading International Schools Of Singapore- Nursery To High School (Ibdp & Other Curricula)
Singapore is one of the wealthiest countries in the world that is counted amongst the economic powerhouses of the world despite its small size. What is extremely creditable about this is the fact that it has done so despite being a tiny island country that does not possess much by way of natural resources.
What it lacks by way of that it more than makes up for by the excellent work ethic of its people which allows them to excel at whatever they take up. This has resulted in it becoming a global hub of international trade and commerce.
That Singapore has been able to achieve that despite a long history of colonialism and foreign occupation is a testament to the vision and foresight of its readers.
