Everyone wants a good tertiary education, if they cannot get it in their home country, why not try in another country? As long as they have good grades and enough finiancial ability, they can get their degree anywhere including Singapore. Meanwhile, most Singaporeans have only average grades despite doing their best. -
any ignorant ''stomper'....
his grades most probably can't make it into the local universities...

all these foreigners issues is getting out of hand.Nowadays a trip by a MRT is quite irritating..I dun even recognise if i'm in spore..surrounded by foreigners all round me while standing on the train.Haiz...

i went overseas to study. At my uni, there are many international students in the student body as well - I really wonder if the local students there did think of us as depriving them of places. Especially we also came out tops in our degrees more often than not. It would be quite sad if they did. But anyway, how much do the foreign students here pay? more than local students? International fees at my uni were exorbitant so I guess thats why my unis loved us internationals :P

aiyah. long given up hope on singapore's future alr.
it is becoming sort of twisted. the dream of every person on earth is to own a nice house, have a decent income, decent job, settle down and form a family eventually, and perhaps, if state of finance allow, own a car.
but nowadays, you see that this is getting further and further away from your hands, with rapidly rising cost of living, along with a steep plunge in quality.
houses are getting smaller and pricier. public transport is getting crowded and pricier too, not mentioning longer waiting time. while wages remain the same.
and the most depressing thing is that local papers such as ST, are reporting that a secondary-educated bricklayer in auustralia can earn A$5k/ month, while our graduates are struggling to hit $3k.
so much for meritocracy.

I could have sworn some PAP MP will come up with this "foreign NTU students provide more vacancies for Singaporean students".
This is in tune with their statement of "foreigners create jobs for Singaporeans".
-
International students pay higher school fees.

Sorry, our students have to compete against the students from the whole world. If those foreign students are not from China and India but from Europe or America, would you complain? æˆ�çŽ‹è´¥å¯‡åœ¨äºŽæœ‰èƒ½ä¸Žæ— èƒ½ã€‚i don't agree with yr viewpoint. this is singapore. NTU and NUS are our local universities funded by taxpayers. their first priority should be to give a good quality tertiary education to our singaporean students and train them so that they are of calibre to compete with the world. sporean students should not be handicapped at the educational level by giving limited places to foreigners.
educational institutions have to ask themselves this question - what is their purpose of existence ? their reason for existence should be to educate. they are local universities so educate the locals first should be their top priority.
and to the general comments that sporean students are inferior to the foreigners, i would say this is a perception. just like govt psycho sporeans into thinking that foreigners are more competent than sporeans which is merely a perception.
do not be biased against our own sporean students. sporeans and students from the developing countries grow up in different environments. it's not fair to compare and generalise. believe in our local students and our own people. if we don't give our own people chance, who will ?

ITE is the next story.
I was quite shocked when I saw PRC students in the local ITEs too.
Go figure.

"most Singaporeans have only average grades despite doing their best."
otherwise at best it is a sweeping statement based on opinion
