SINGAPOREANS tricked into poly educations

............ at the end of the day, all courses the same, they produce redundant skills. easily half of our population hold jobs that are remotely related to the skills they acquired in tertiary education.

almost none of the people i know is holding a job that relates to their skills & qualifications.

sinkie education system is bound for failure. those without any idea what they wanna do in life, they will opt to go to extended secondary called Air-level. those that know what they wanna do/kena cheated by gahmen, will go to poly to pursue the courses offered.

the double standard admission exercises deter people with the genuine interest, allowing half hearted ones to enter the courses.

A teacher once told me the difference between going for a diploma or a degree. Diploma is suppose to impart some sort of routine technical skills. Degree is suppose to mean you have the thinking skills to solve problems that comes to you. Most of the stuff I learned in uni never got used when I'm working. But the problem solving that is required is still very much relevant. today. Employers don't hire people just for their technical skills, problem solving skills are needed at a higher level. Sure, you can argue that having some technical skills would mean you won't be out of a job. But so does the numerous number of graduates every year from Poly. What you need to show is that you have the relevant experience to do the job better.

Because the "foreigners" won't be coming to Singapore because its just a "Diploma" ? If its just Diploma why bother coming to Singapore. Could have gotten one back home for them.
