Follow Singapore Investment Immigration and Singapore Education: Private schools in Singapore are generally operated in partnership with prestigious institutions from the United States or Commonwealth countries, such as the United Kingdom and Australia, or are branch campuses established by these universities in Singapore. Students at private schools in Singapore can transfer to the partner institution for the final year or two of their studies after meeting certain requirements. The Singapore Education Alliance notes, "Private schools in Singapore are not yet recognized by the Chinese Ministry of Education, so students are unable to take the civil service examination. If students are able to transfer to the partner university, they will receive a diploma from that institution. This diploma is identical to that of students at the main campus and is recognized by the Ministry of Education."
