for many displaced Singaporeans who are no contended with a poly
education , they are forced to pay a higher price for a overseas
tertiary education as the local u continue to reserve sizable
number of places for foreign students.
nevertheless, tough willed ordinary Sporeans' parents are braving
themselves for a harder time ahead to give their kids a headstart
in life., even it meant downgrading to a smaller apartment.
Ironically and unjustly, Singaporeans own CPF monies are NOT
allowed to pay for an overseas education.
On the other hand, kids from well to do family whose parents can be
drawing sizable income are granted scholarship. Bond would be
totally ineffective for these rich families if it is a reason to
tie them down.
Qualified kids get stuck in poly, sizable local u places reserved
for foreign students (in Boon Lay estate about ten blocks of flats
have been retrofited to accomodate them.. tenants and shops
relocated ).
