Babyt 4th Gear October 29, 2009 Author Share October 29, 2009 MOE provides subsidies for UniSim coz no choice, generally polys, A lvl (who cant make it) will come here. to be frank, i think the gov agencies prefer to hire NTU, NUS, SMU, SU rather than UniSim.

Angmokio Neutral Newbie October 29, 2009 Share October 29, 2009 (edited) MOE provides subsidies for UniSim coz no choice, generally polys, A lvl (who cant make it) will come here. to be frank, i think the gov agencies prefer to hire NTU, NUS, SMU, SU rather than UniSim. All businesses making $$$$ by attracting foreign students who study here, spend here, play here, eat here, "work" here. but problem starts when they grad & look for jobs here, and our local workers/ future gens will be marginlised. I felt not fair that Singaporean student with average results has to apply for the not so "good" institutions or go study overseas. be prepared to report to a Foreign fresh grad in the near future.
