Malvern gains accreditation for Singapore school

The EduTrust certification scheme is a voluntary program for private education institutions in Singapore to benchmark themselves against high standards of both, management and educational services. It is a prerequisite for any educational institute seeking to enrol international students.

Malvern's certification was withdrawn in 2013 after it failed to meet certain requirements.

After reinstatement of the accreditation, Malvern are looking to attract and enrol international students to its Singapore campus and adopt a similar strategy to Malvern House London, its sister school.

Deputy chief executive officer Dr Sam Malafeh stated: "The team in Singapore has worked very hard for the last nine months to turn the situation around.

"The operation has been through two extensive internal reviews followed by major improvements in setting a systemic and robust approach to operations, meeting the regulatory requirements and providing the best service and quality delivery. The leadership team in Singapore proved that they are capable of delivering the results.

"This accreditation is a key step in establishing the Singapore school as a centre of excellence in the country and the region."
