Education is a very important aspect of life in Singapore, and Education in Singapore is managed by the Ministry of Education (MOE). It is responsible for controlling, development and administration of public schools in Singapore.
For those who are unable to secure a place in the main stream, and for foreign students, you have alternative pathways-namely, private education. Please read on.
First of all, I would like to introduce you to:
Singapore Education
Singapore is a cosmopolitan city and a premier destination for lifelong learning complemented with world-class educational institutions. You will embark on a pedagogical journey that combines the best of global knowledge with the wisdom of Asian insights.
Here, you can immerse yourself in the widest range of educational offerings, and embrace a learning environment that is both inspiring and conducive. It is truly a place where you can enrich your mind and life.
Who we are
Singapore Education was launched by the Singapore Government in 2003 to establish and promote Singapore as a premier education hub and help international students make an informed decision on studying in Singapore. This multi-government initiative is shared by the Singapore Economic Development Board, the Singapore Tourism Board, SPRING Singapore, International Enterprise Singapore, the Ministry of Education and the Council for Private Education.
What we do
As the marketing and promotion arm for Singapore Education, the Singapore Tourism Board (STB) assumes the responsibility of attracting international students to Singapore. The STB works very closely with Singapore education institutions and education agents to reach out to potential international students through a range of promotional platforms, including roadshows, education fairs, education talks and PR and advertising. STB’s efforts are focused on:
* building international brand recognition for Singapore as a provider of quality education;
* providing platforms for our institutions to reach out to their target audiences;
* building credible marketing and information channels so that potential students have access to reliable information; and
* ensuring that international students have an enriching learning (and living) experience in Singapore so that they in turn can be valued ambassadors for Singapore.
For private schools or PEIs, how would I know whether the PEI that I am applying to is reputable and credible?
All PEI’s currently need to be registered with the Council for Private Education in order to operate in Singapore and the registration process takes into account the PEI’s corporate governance, quality of provision and information transparency.
In addition, PEI’s that take in international students need to have EduTrust certification. There are 3 levels of EduTrust certification – EduTrust Star (valid for 4 years), EduTrust (valid for 4 years) and EduTrust Provisional (valid for 1 year).
PEI’s must seek approval from the Council for Private Education to offer any external degrees offered in partnership with bona fide universities and they are only allowed to offer qualifications of up to Advanced Diploma level in their own name.
A Fee Protection Scheme has also been established to protect the tuition fees of students studying at PEI. It is a mandate that PEI’s have to either deposit the fees in an escrow account or purchase insurance protection administered by CPE-approved companies.
For more information about the list of PEI’s approved by the Council for Private Education, please click here.
For more information about the list of courses permitted by the Council for Private Education, please click here.
For General Information, please go to Singapore Education website.

MASTER FRANCHISING
The Ultimate Business!
Presented by Master Franchise Specialists LLC
How to Use a Little-Known Business System as Your Best Vehicle for Business Success… The Best Kept Secret In Business Today… For the Right Person!
Over ten years ago we stumbled over a unique business system that has brought unbelievable success to its owners. Although very rare, those that were using it were not only experiencing a high success rate but also a very high level of earnings.
We found that there is very little detailed information about this type of business. Out of tens of thousands of business books there has been one book written about this type of business, to our knowledge and it is very hard to lay your hands on. No accurate database exists, that we have been able to find, which list these opportunities.
This system is one of the best kept secrets in business ownership today. It allows the business owner to develop a large business within a relatively short time period, yet has an extremely high success rate. Recent surveys show that these owners experience yearly incomes of $150,000 to $1,000,000 or more a year. They build an increased net worth or equity in these businesses of $500,000 to $10,000,000 or more, much quicker in comparison to other businesses.
What is this concept?
Imagine coming up with the idea of a new franchise concept that explodes in your area with dozens of new units opening up. Imagine having control of this concept and receiving royalties and franchisee fees on a consistent basis. Imagine having an idea like McDonald’s and having people line up at your door to buy your opportunity. Imagine access to the best business experts to help guide you in your new venture to build your organization to last. This opportunity is extremely rare, yet there are such businesses available if you know where to look. This unusual highly successful opportunity is called MASTER FRANCHISING.
As a master or regional franchisee your ways of generating income are expanded over that of a normal franchise. With a normal franchise you are generally offering the product of service directly to the end use customer such as in a retail store. With a master franchise, you can generate income through your own stores, if you wish, with a significantly reduced royalty and franchise fee.
With Master Franchising you get:
Franchise Fees – When you sell a franchise, you receive a franchise fee. Most franchise fees are between $20,000 and $30,000 and in a typical master franchise program; you keep 40 – 50% of the fee.
Ongoing Royalties – This is the ultimate income source. Once you help set up the franchises, you receive royalty income or annuity type income for the rest of the life of those franchises. Imagine receiving 2% – 5% of your franchisee’s volume every month.
Products or Additional Services – Often products or additional services needed by the franchisee’s outlet can bring excellent additional income.
Real Estate – If real estate is involved with the franchisee’s location, often the master franchisee can become involved in the development of sites and receive other types of real estate related income.
All of the benefits mentioned above but without the expense of having to develop the concept from scratch
Control of the successful franchise system in a specific geographic area
A proven track record that works
Brand name and even a partner in the form of a corporate office
Master franchisees to give you valuable support, latest innovations and business expertise when you need it
The prestige of owning a master franchise and controlling an entire area can give you great satisfaction.
Your main job will be to act as a business consultant to your franchisees and help them succeed in their own business.
You will be associated with the elite brand name of the franchise as the main developer of an area even through it will be your franchisees investing their money.
Improved Quality of Life
Master franchisees own and enjoy a quality of life business. Here are some key characteristics about the typical master franchise:
Very few customers. Your customers are your franchisees. You help support a small number of franchisees who typically own several franchise units each.
Very few employees. Typically you will operate a master franchise by yourself and then expand to have an administrative assistant, a trainer or other support person and a franchise sales person. As your master franchise grows larger you may need to add more staff, perhaps a general manager to run the operation so you may back away almost completely, if desired. We have found that many master franchisees, after having worked for three to seven years, can semi-retire and live off of an extremely good income and spend one or two days a month in the office.
Very little office space. Many master franchises can be started out of a home office. Once you have enough franchises in place then you can expand to an outside office.
You build equity in the business at a much faster rate than a normal business. Once you sell a few franchises or open your own stores, you increase the value of your business significantly. Not only do you have an existing business with cash flow, you have additional franchise opportunities to sell which gives the master franchise a higher value. Typically a master franchise will make four to nine times the earnings rather than the typical 1.8 to 2.8 times the earnings of a normal business.
Low overhead. You don’t have to jump into the business with a large office, staff and other overhead expenses. You can expand as you go.
You have the option of setting up your own franchises at reduced rates. As you open your own outlets you create another asset value. You now have your master franchise with a specific value and also your own franchise with its value. As the value of your franchise increases, it increases the value of your master franchise. They are separate that you may sell when you would like.
You own an exclusive territory. Only you and your designated franchisees will be allowed to develop franchises in your area.
More freedoms exist in a master franchise than a normal franchise. You help set the standards of the franchise in your area.
You stay up to date on the latest technology. Being part of a larger franchise system allows the best ideas to flow into the corporate office and then into the field. You’ll have your own research and development department built right in.
You don’t need experience in the specific industry. You will receive industry specific training and support from the corporate office in the beginning and ongoing.
It can be started part-time and then you may move to full-time as required by the business you bring on.
Best of all it is a franchise! Franchises as a whole enjoy a 92% success rate. Master franchises typically have an even better success rate than the normal franchise. All you need to do is find the right master franchise for you. Master Franchising or regional development franchises as they are sometimes called, are the best kept secret in business today…for the right person.
Hey guys, wasn’t that a good article on Master Franchising? I hope you have benefited from reading it.
Do you have other suggestions?
