Little_prince Supersonic November 8, 2010 Share November 8, 2010 Again : 2 China 'Scholars' Run Away from JC Just got this report on my table. 2 China scholars from Anderson Junior College were found absent from class for several days. When school staff checked their hostel, they found that the students had packed up and gone to USA! Apparently these 'smart' students found out that they don't need A level results to gain entry into US universities. They secretly applied for an American University. When they got accepted by one, bought their air-tickets and then run! What can the Singapore Government do? Sue them? Recover our money? They were not bonded wor. Many more foreign students will follow their example. These students were brought over to study in Secondary 3. Gifted? Many are older than our local Secondary 3 students. When I was in China recruiting students to study in Singapore, I often receive money sandwiched within the pages of application forms. Some Chinese parents mistook that I was recruiting ASEAN scholars for the Singapore Government. The highest amount I found was US$8,000. All the money was returned. Can you imagine when the real actual people go recruiting ...... Shockingly, these foreign ASEAN scholars only need to pass one subject to stay on. Not like Singaporean students, must pass English Language and another how many subjects ah? Our Government sets aside huge amounts of China Fund for schools to recruit these students. Now, I heard another Indian Fund is set up. Wow! Singaporeans are always the losers. http://forums.delphiforums.com/3in1k...s/?msg=21182.1 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FTrash FTW!!!!

Wind30 Turbocharged November 9, 2010 Share November 9, 2010 (edited) if this case about money inside application form is true, then it is a HUGE issue. totally unacceptable. Students running away can't be helped lah. you want to chain them meh? If we take 100 students, 2 run away ok loh. It is the percentage that counts. If we take in 3 students and 2 run away, then big problem. Edited November 9, 2010 by Wind30 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watwheels Supersonic November 9, 2010 Share November 9, 2010 Look at it this way. They can't come back to sgp if one day they decide to work here or the gov make them cough up the $$ spent on them before they work here. Anywhere they go they will be viewed as FT or 2nd class, other dan going back to their homeland where else can they go? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
