SG emerges as amongst preferred overseas education destinations of parents from China and HK

One in six parents plan to send their child to study in Singapore or Japan.

The United States and the United Kingdom are no longer the sole options of parents from China and Hong Kong when choosing where to send their children to study.

Data from HSBC Life showed that Singapore and Japan (16%) have also emerged as top picks for overseas education by parents in China and Hong Kong.

Parents in China and Hong Kong are also likely to send their children abroad for education at a younger age, with 70% wanting to send their children overseas for tertiary education.

Meanwhile, the study also found that many parents are finding overseas education costs to be increasing.

The most commonly cited reason of parents who said that costs of overseas education have become higher than anticipated (58%) is the changes to accommodation costs and living expenses (24%).

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
