Willing partner in crime? <_<

willing or not the other 2/3 wants us to be gangraped again n again n again just bcause of the fear of

being penniless n what not as described by the fear mongering u-know-who.

i have seen scholarship given to children whose parents are millionares who bought overseas properties

near their child's university. who do we respect more, somebody from a humble background who

worked hard n scrape through U or somebody who have the means and studied in prestigious

universities paid by the masses?

Scholarships to these rich elites is like a trophy of pride.

So many of our dear leaders have gotten scholarships for their kids

If I'm your leader and my soon also qualifies for scholarship I'd give it to someone in need of it instead .

But then again I'm not your dear leader..

just get rid of this scholarship thing be it FT or singaporean.

 

nowadays, if you are a scholar, its like telling people i am atas/elite.

 

change the scholarship to be awarded to people who cannot afford school fees.

 

so next time when you tell people you are scholar, its like telling people my parents are peasent. [:p]

 

It does make sense. Elite people, their parents has the $ to help pay for their sons/daughter studies. Giving scholarship to them to me is wasted 1 chance for those whose family is poor.

Since elite has $ to pay for school fees, scholarship should be given to people who cannot afford school fees. [laugh] [laugh]

Ya total agree.

But ours is a meritocracy society.

The richer you are the higher level of meritocracy you're on.

From ST Forum:

Foreign scholars: 67% scored high honours

Published on Feb 25, 2012

 

I REFER to recent media reports and letters from the public about the quality of international students and scholarship holders in our universities.

 

The Ministry of Education (MOE) agrees that the quality of international scholarship holders is important.

 

In the reply to a question raised in Parliament on Jan 9, MOE had explained that for the 2011 university graduating cohort, about 45 per cent of all international students were awarded second

 

upper class honours and above. Subsequently, in the parliamentary session on Feb 17, Senior Parliamentary Secretary Sim Ann cited this statistic in response to a query about the quality of international scholarship holders.

 

For those on scholarship, the proportion getting second upper class honours and above is higher than the average of 45 per cent, which is the proportion for all international students.

 

This is because international scholarship holders are subject to even more stringent selection and renewal criteria. The academic performance of each scholarship holder is closely monitored and the scholarship will be withdrawn if the scholarship holder's performance is not satisfactory.

 

For the 2011 university graduating cohort, the proportion of international scholarship holders awarded second upper class honours and above was 67 per cent.

 

Ms Sim will be making this clarification at the next parliamentary sitting.

Director, Corporate Communications

Ministry of Education
