  from the article, the writer should not be paying any school fees if he is a singaporean and based on his family income. There is no need to borrow from the bank. The poly will have a scheme for him to subsidise his school fees.
  
  Our Goh CT says no poor person will be left out of the education system even for poly and university.

  he say you believe?

  Well, life is tough, especially those that wasn't born in a well to do family. I say, life moves on, whatever cards God dealt to us, make full use of it. If you don't get a blackjack, at least make the best of what you have in your hands.

  actually it is those that are born in okay, marginal exceeding ceiling income to well to do family that borrow from the bank, except the rich ones. Because they do not qualify for the fees subsidy based on marginal family income ceiling and not much "spare cash" left over from families for school fees and spending allowances and have to buy a notebook. so called stuck in the middle families, too rich to qualify for assistance and too poor to do without any assistance.
  
  It will be bad if two or more children study uni or poly same time. The expensive school fees is a big burden on family.
  
  so much for our very expensive subsidised poly and uni fees. SMU is even more expensive.
  
  The mendaki subsidise 100% fees for family income below $2000 and 70% for income between $2K to $3K. This Should apply to all across the board.
  
  and even worse if they stay 5 rm hdb above and earn marginal income, as these are classified as well to do families. Gov has a habit of classify well to do and not well to do according to housing type.
