Demand for university places is going sky-high in Singapore, with more than 100,000 students pursuing degrees and diplomas at private schools.

By contrast, the three local universities accept 12,000 Singaporean undergraduates each year, reported The Straits Times.

The Council of Private Education, which tracks student numbers in private schools, released figures showing the total enrolment to be 146,000 by the middle of this year. Of that number, 33,000 are foreigners while the remaining 113,000 are Singaporeans.
