We all know that education is big money. Look at all the private education centres mushrooming in Singapore over the past few years, until Edutrust had to step in to filter out those fakes from the real ones.
The mind boggling question is: When employers can easily employ graduates from all over the world, and so many students are competing for a place in Spore u, why is the govt still offering tuition grants to foreign students to study at local unis? I am sure we will get enough good students from overseas to study in our unis without offering them the subsidies. Yea, in the developing years when NUS & NTU were not up there yet, it was ok. But now, should remove the carrots. Then MOE can make even more money.
But then again, the govt must know something we don't.....
