I think this is something TRE should investigate and write about. It’s getting out of hands. I’m talking about the tens of thousands of foreigners on scholarships in secondary schools, polys and universities. They are all fully funded, given tuition grants and allowances.
This is what I gathered from one case. One Poly sent a team to Guangzhou to recruit PRC students. The students who passed the Poly exams were given places in whichever courses they chose. Their high school results were not required for their applications. They were given tuition grants which would bind them to stay and work in Singapore for 5 years after graduation.
One of the students who came to Singapore found out that her friends from the same high school used only their high school results to get into NTU, NUS and SMU. She told me she could have applied to university instead.
A lot of her friends are studying in universities for degrees and masters, either on scholarships or given tuition grants. The concern here is that thousands of them from lousy high schools were given places in our local universities and our local born and bred Singaporeans have to compete to get in. Needless to day, with limited places in our three local universities, many Singaporean students can’t get in. Yet, these PRC students from their dubious high schools are given scholarships funded by our taxpayers’ monies and many don’t even have to serve a day of National Service.
When she came to Singapore, she joined a clan that helps foreign students coming from a particular province in China. She found that many of the members after graduations are all given PR straight away. All her graduate friends have PR and best of all, most are given high paying jobs in GLCs!
