The Asean Scholarships for the Philippines is tenable for 4 years leading to the award of the Singapore-Cambridge General Certificate of Education Advanced Level (GCE A-Level or equivalent) certificate. The Scholarship is for studies in selected Singapore schools from Secondary 3 to Pre-University 2 and is renewed annually, subject to the satisfactory performance of the scholar. You are welcome to apply for the Scholarship if you wish to enter Singapore schools at the Secondary 3 Level.
This scholarship provides opportunities to the bright students of Asean countries to study in Singapore. As part of the Asean community studying in Singapore, they will be given opportunities to broaden their horizons and develop important skills such as leadership, communication and life skills to equip them for the 21st century.
There is no bond attached to the scholarships. MOE provides Asean secondary scholarships and Asean pre-university scholarships. Actually covers 4 years of education, 2 years at the secondary level and 2 years at the pre-university level.
The scholarships are offered every year to outstanding students in Asean countries in line with the Singapore government’s long term objective of contributing towards human resource development in the Asean countries. Each scholarship amounts to about P600,000 pesos that is fully funded by the Singapore government.
Schools are providing more opportunities for the character development of their students and for students to develop skills in innovation. They encourage the students to learn more actively and independently. Everything has been designed to nurture curiosity that goes beyond the formal curriculum.

New types of schools are being introduced to encourage those with special talents to go as far as they can. Existing schools have been provided with further autonomy and resources to develop their own distinct strengths and specific areas or niches of excellence.
These could be either in a particular area of study or in co-curricular activities and character development. The different needs of students will thus be met through a wide range of school types and educational programmes.
Teaching will be focused on developing understanding, critical thinking and the ability to ask questions and seek answers and solutions. Examinations and assessment methods will be reviewed, to reduce reliance on rote learning and encourage independent learning and experimentation.
