Government statistics (below) have confirmed that PAP has spent the least on Singaporean undergrads vs other students.
From FY2010 to FY2015, an undergrad saw a paltry increase of only $1428 or 7% in government expenditure. (Almost 80% of NUS student enrollment are undergrads.)
For a primary school student, government expenditure increased the highest – by $3536 or 53% (highest) over the same period.
Worst-hit were ITE students with the lowest increase of only $811 over 5 years!
As for Edwin Tong wannabes, tuition fees increased by $3570 or 44% but the highest dollar increase was $5240 for Dentistry.
PAP justified exorbitant fee increases with BS, eg better students to staff ratio = higher cost. But which top uni in Law has increased cost by 44% over a 5-year period and more than 7% every other year?
Since inflation was only a fraction of the fee increase, were there cost overruns, eg management paying themselves top dollar just like PAP politicians?
