The Singapore Government Appoints Singapore Education Specialists in India
In a key move for overseas education opportunities, Singapore Government has successfully established a pioneer group of Singapore Education (SE) Specialists in India. The education counselors, the majority of whom are from the Association of Accredited Advisors on Overseas Education (AAAOE), participated in the SE Specialist Programme in March 2005.
The SE Specialists programme involved comprehensive theoretical training on Singapore's educational courses and programmes along with the policies and processes that govern international students admissioninto Singapore's education institutions/ the counselors were assessed at the end of the training. Successful candidates were then invited to the second part of the programme and thereafter to the onsite visits to educational institutions in Singapore in April 2005.
The SE Specialists programme is designed to promote and uphold the quality of education counseling services, particularly in provision of accurate and meaningful information to international students planning to study in Singapore. All appointed SE specialists will display a certificate awarded by Singapore Education. The certificates are valid for one year and SE Specialists will be required to attend a refresher course and maintain a consistent record for good service to renew their certification.
Dr.C.B.Paul Chellakumar president of AAAOE was the guest of honour and speaker. Addressing the gathering, he profiled the experience of overseas education counselors in India and recommended Singapore

One of our main aims is to ensure the provision of reliable information to guide international students in making that important decision to study in Singapore. The training and certification of this pioneer group is our first step towards this objective in India.

Seriously speaking Dr. Paul Chellakumar is absolutely excellent in his service. I personally believe no one can give better ideas than him in U.K. education.
