Gong jiao wei again. Any list that doesn't include Luxembourg and Qatar among the richest countries per capita can be dismissed altogether. The World Bank puts Sinkieland at 19th in the world, not 1st. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_(nominal)_per_capita Purchasing power parity is used to inflate the GDP figures of 3rd world, developing cuntries like Singapore and China. You wanna compare, compare using the nominal figures.

The study refers to tertiary education. Singapore will never be even in the top 20 for % of populaton with tertiary education.This is a deliberate policy by the PAP. IN other coutries like Taiwan and SOuth Korea, something like 40% of all primary one students can get into a uni. This why they can produce so many engineers and what not for their big companies. The PAP's policy is to save money. All unis are negative profit centres.It costs much more to run a uni than it can collect in school fees. Therefore, for decades, there were only 2 unis in singapore, and than went to 1. Now, you are seeing a proliferation of recent unis, but they are trying to cater to international students who pay a higher school fee. If the enterprise does not make money, the PAP does not want to do it.

Also, unis have proven to be a breeding ground for student activism and social changes. That is the last thing the PAP wants, so, by restricting the number of unis and students, they assure that the chances for discontent is not there. If there are many unis in singapore, during receesions, there will be many unemployed uni grads, and that again is another source for social unrest.

This tertiary education policy of singapore (namely to make a uni spot very exclusive and elite by restricting the number available), has resulted in an unmitigated disaster. This disaster is on the same level as Temasek losses. Generations of singaporeans have been forced to study overseas, resulting in the outflow of $billions of dollars from the singapore economy into the economies of UK, US, Australia, and Canada. It has also caused a shortage of qualified tertiary educated citizens, which is one of the major excuses the US has used to import large number of FTs who are university graduate fron their home countries..
