30. Types of institutes in pakistan
Government schools
It is very disheartening to mention that the government schools’ teachers are not
imparting good education to the students. Unfortunately the government schools’
teachers are present just on one day, i.e. the salary day. They do not care about
the life of the children, who are the future of our country but the teachers are
destroying the future. It means that they are destroying our country.
30
31. Private schools
To teach their children the necessary skills for an ever-changing world, many parents
are choosing private school education. One of the accepted benefits of private schools
is that they provide exceptional and challenging educational experiences through
extracurricular activities.
31
32. Madrassas
A typical Islamic school usually offers two courses of study: a ḥifẓ course teaching
memorization of the Qur'an (the person who commits the entire Qur'an to memory is
called a hafiz); and an ʻālim course leading the candidate to become an accepted
scholar in the community.

33. Types of institutes in Singapore
International and private schools
Singapore is host to many international schools. International and private schools in
Singapore generally do not admit Singapore students without permission from the
Ministry of Education.
However, on 29 April 2004 the Ministry of Education permitted three new international
schools to be set up without permission being needed to admit Singapore students.
These schools must follow the compulsory policies set by the Ministry such as playing
the national anthem and taking the pledge every morning, as well as following the
nation's policies on bilingualism

34. Madrasahs
In Singapore, madrasahs are full-time, religious institutions that offer a pedagogical
mix of Islamic religious education and secular education in their curricula. There are
currently six madrasahs in Singapore offering primary to tertiary education, namely,
Aljunied Al-Islamiah, Al-Irsyad Al-Islamiah, Al-Maarif Al-Islamiah, Alsagoff Al-Arabiah,
Al-Arabiah Al-Islamiah, and Wak Tanjong Al-Islamiah. Four of them are co-
educational, while the other two offer madrasah education exclusively to girls.
