Re: Fucking PAP giving Uni scholarships with free airfare to Filipinos and no bond ne
If they want to follow angmoh countries to give free education to poorer countries, they should follow properly. First, give only to selected FEW foreigners who are top performers, not B graders. Second, make sure the own people are taken care of first. Now own citizens have to take hefty loans or even spend big money to go overseas to study while foreign B graders have a field day occupying study places and some more have it free with allowances. Really a shitty govt to do this.
If these pinoy students get a 4 years scholarship for say engineering at NUS, my calculations is based as follows:
1 year tuition fee approximately = $35000 X 4 = $140,000 for 4 years.
Accomodation allowance approximately = $700 per month X 48 months = $33,600
Living allowance = $4800 X 4 years = $19,200
Return airfare, AirAsia Promo = $353
Approximate burden of the scholarship to singapore taxpayer per Pinoy student = $193,153 over 4 years!!
