Rough translation of 1 para:
As an important destination country for education, Singapore has provided a very attractive conditions for oversea students to study there. Besides inexpensive school fees, the availability of local employment is a main advantage.
According to Singapore's policies, foreign students who study in any of the 5 polytechnics or 3 public universities will have the opportunity to apply for subsidies for the school fees.
The school fee subsidy is about 70-80%. However, in return for getting the subsidy, foreign students would need to work in a Singapore registered company for 3 years after graduation.
In this way, Singapore in fact has used this policy to retain quite a number of international talents in Singapore.
The personalized employment permit is a new policy which was launched in the first half of this year. Previously, the employment permit of the foreign worker in Singapore needed to be linked with the company which is employing him.
Now, so long as the foreign worker had a salary of S$30,000 and had worked in Singapore from 2 to 5 years, with the personalized employment permit, even if he has lost his job, he can still continue to stay in Singapore for another 6 months in order to give him the opportunity to look for a new job.
Before this, the foreign worker who has lost his job will need to leave the country very shortly.
According to Singapore's Manpower Ministry director Ms Tan Y Y, this policy is for the purpose of helping Singapore's foreign talents to seek new job opportunity in between jobs, preventing the loss of talents from Singapore.
At the same time, the personalized employment permit holder can also apply for dependent permits for the holder's family members.
Moreover, from the government's point of view, Singapore encourages the universities and the industries to establish close working relationship so as to provide students the opportunities for industry training. This helps the students to understand ahead of time, the kind of skills needed for employment so as to avoid the situation where the graduates become unemployed upon graduation.
