	Singapore - Education
		The goal of the education system was to develop the talents of every individual so that each could contribute to the economy and to the ongoing struggle to make Singapore productive and competitive in the international marketplace.
		Singapore had six institutions of higher education: National University of Singapore (the result of the 1980 merger of Singapore University and Nanyang University); Nanyang Technological Institute; Singapore Polytechnic Institute; Ngee Ann Polytechnic; the Institute of Education; and the College of Physical Education.
		Many of the settled education policies of the 1980s, such as the use of English as the medium of instruction, the conversion of formerly Malay or Chinese or Anglican missionary schools to standard government schools, or the attempted combination of open access with strict examinations, were the result of long-standing political disputes and controversy.

		The consequential educational imperative was, therefore, the rapid expansion of primary and secondary education.
		The challenge, therefore, for the Singapore education system is to respond to these challenges with creativity and innovation and to continue to anticipate the changes in economic structure that are inevitable.
