Wow - You are throwing money at them and you do not keep track of them? Basically, the government doesn't know how many are actually working in Singapore!Assoc Prof Ong Soh Khim (Nominated Member)
Question
To ask the Minister for Education with regard to foreign undergraduate students who are subsidized with a tuition fee grant of $12,830 per year and who make up about 20% of our universitiesÂ’ enrolment, (a) how many of these students are from our lower-income neighbouring countries; and (b) how many have since returned to their home countries after finishing their 3-year service bonds in Singapore.
Response
The majority of foreign undergraduates who receive tuition grant subsidies from the Government are from Asean, China and India.
While we do not track those who have left after serving their tuition grant bonds, more than 60% of those who were admitted to our universities between 1996 and 1999[3] have become Permanent Residents or SingaporeCitizens since graduating. -
I think the foreign students should pay very much higher.
The taxpayers are the ones paying for it.
As a result, they keep increasing fees every year.
Most foreigners esp. China will not stay after they graduate cos their economy is booming. They use us as stepping stone before going US, UK etc
Also many S'porean students (esp. those in poly) who are deprived of a place have to go overseas to Australia.
Their parents are burdened with the high edn. costs.
We also lose them cos they might not want to return when they complete their edn. -
Face it ladies and gentlemen, you are Singaporeans living in Singapore. And it is a fact known to everybody that Singaporeans in Singapore are second class citizens. There are many other threads on this issue.
Initially I thought only our generation felt that. Now it seems that our next generation also feel the impact.

I am not sure but i'm guessing yes. IE Scholarship will cover the rest of the fees + Living expenses.Originally posted by commonsense:does this 20% students under tuition grant subsidies include those foreigners here on scholarships? -
1/4 ? hahaa....sure anot....how come i see so much Jade Dragons and PRCs leh....1/4 is maybe yrs ago, now is definitely not 1/4...MAE dun say, u go EEE and COE see loh....my friend in EEE say his tutorial class 'jit pian orh arm'....means total pitch of black....

They can fly back to China and dun return....China/India so big u think can gunneysack them bk to SG ? hahahaha....as long as they don't return to SG can liao...even if they return i think also bo dai ji cos i think PG won't be issued against them but i may be wrong though. -
