Not much has been written about the private education sector in
Singapore despite the fact that the sector houses about 300 private
education institutions (PEIs) and enrolls about 150,000 students.
Private Education in Singapore: Contemporary Issues and Challenges
is an exciting book that aims to fill a gap in the literature. In
the book, the author offers an extensive discussion on (i) the key
elements of the sector - types and features of the PEIs, (ii) the
regulatory framework for private education, (iii) students'
aspiration and the impact of the ASPIRE report on PEIs, and (iv)
the provision of external degree programme through transnational
partnership. The book also tackles the hotly debated discussion in
relation to academic quality and standard of PEI courses. The
author identifies the reasons - some of them have more
characteristics of a myth - and suggests a number of ways to
overcome the issues and challenges.
