Koreans in Singapore were estimated to form a population of 7,000-8,000 by the Korean Association of Singapore. Singapore has become a popular destination for South Korean students and their parents, who see it as an ideal place to learn both English and Chinese, the two most popular foreign languages in South Korea.[1][2] Singapore's only school for Korean nationals, the Singapore Korean School, was established on 17 February 1993; as of 2005, it had 15 teachers and enrolled 100 students at the elementary school level. It conducts roughly two-thirds of its class hours in Korean, and one-third in English.[3] Its associated weekend school, opened at the same time, enrolled a total of 261 students at the elementary and middle school levels.[4]
