Singapore rising

The number of international students in Singapore has risen 50% in the last five years. In 2008 there were 97,000 international students in Singapore, up from 86,000 in 2007.

This strong growth is a further indicator that emerging international education markets like Singapore and Malaysia continue to make significant gains in grabbing a piece of the international student pie.

These emerging markets may also benefit from the global financial crisis, with students in Asia and India looking for more affordable education options.

It will be interesting to see if the strong growth trend continues.
