Singapore has become the most favored destination in Asia for Chinese students aged between 15 and 18 studying overseas, a survey has found.

The Education International Cooperation Group, a domestic education services provider, says from 2007 to May 2014, 2.68 percent of Chinese students who studied overseas went to high school in Singapore. This figure far surpassed Japan (1.19 percent), South Korea (0.17 percent), Hong Kong (0.04 percent) and other places in Asia.
