to earn better income?
to be a better informed person?
to be gracious in society?
to join PAP and be rich?
???
when young study so hard, end of day, still die.
Education is to gain knowledge & be wise. The 70% have education, but not wise. I never cease gaining knowledge, in other words, upgrade, learn...but that doesn't, mean I will make more money. Learn to be gracious, have manners, learn to be tolerant etc... Yes!
The PAP model is to keep upgrading, but where does that lead to? & pay more so that they don't get monkeys but instead they get gorillas..it is true that you join PAP to be rich, join their various "memberships" to get somewhere...but what has that to do with getting a education.
You may get an education & even have the talent to give education to others...but one behaviour is worst than an uneducated, like the Toa Payoh...ah pek pushing case...what is the use of an education...RICH!..YES!.
