it is almost as ferocious as the real life environment that the
British University put me into.
My parents are not working for the civil service or working for any
universities, so I did not enjoy the heavy subsidy that the
Government used to provide to the SINGAPORE children who studied in
overseas universities. My parents have to pay the expensive high
fees in the UK university for all foreign students. What I get in
British University were man-made hardship and negligence + denial
by University Officials. Pretty much like in that Korean TV Drama,
there is a nasty step-brother who tried to exploit the new-comer
sister[SINGAPORE studentS in British Universities or High School]
everyway that he could.
However, it could get even worse and more extreme and total
rip-off, the British universities are even worse than the
gangsters, in the way that they exploit and extort SINGAPORE
students in terms of Basic Rights and Family Fortune. Even more
recklessnessly.
Since I was young, my parents provided all I need, like a bicycle
and a computer etc. I have been a nice, well-behaving, hard working
and brilliant student for all my academic subjects. I went for one
of the most intensive medicine course in an UK university (in order
to become a Family Doctor or a Bright Surgeon in the Operation
Theater). But the bigot, arrogant British put me into a nousy, tiny
storage area underneath the staircase and call my room the spare
room. ¡V Usually, occupied by no-one and no students will be
allocate to that tiny under-the-staircase space anyway. The space
is so tiny; I could not even extend my arms there. The furniture
was old, humiliating, and wobbly. It is just more ironic when
comparing to all other British students on the same floor who also
got their own single room --- all their room is big enough space to
park 2 normal size cars inside (except2 long long limousines). We
are all paying the same standard single room fee ¡V highest among
the university.
There is really no evidence of a relationship between the amount of
money thrown into university education and genuine educational
accomplishment. For university course, British University cost more
than double than a same degree course that held in one of the
universities in Singapore. Beside the difference in the price tag,
there are employment restrictions as well. Nowadays, British
University charges the whole year tuition in advance even the
students might have scholarship and loans coming in. In Britain,
Singapore Students are simply the MILK COW for the British Economy.
The local student only paid one-third of what the Singapore student
paid. Furthermore, their Local Education Authority (LEA) will lend
them all the tuition fees and let them have some living expenses
too. On the other hand, it cost the Singapore parents an arm and a
leg to send their kids away. The situation is even more ridiculous
for Secondary School Education. The average cost is more than
200,000-00 SINGAPORE dollars per year. It is enough to cover the
construction cost of a front yard swimming pool in many countries.
Why it worth so much money? It is never justifiable. It is simply
because of their parents studied in English in the past, it is
incomprehensible for their children to take an exam in
Chinese.
When we look at the top-notch education around the world, Germany
and Japanese use their own mother-tongue language to teach. Their
English is not the best but the quality of their products is the
highest quality with very clever engineering that many countries
admire. As a conclusion, the next generation should able to use
Chinese to demonstrate their knowledge in examination. No doubt
about it.
For any uninformed parents or prospective university students who
are studying for their Advanced Level. Do not bet all your salaries
on your children UK education ( It could crash as much as the peak
of the Housing Market here and there)
The Sunny picture in British Universities Prospectus never do any
justice to the real foggy weather in Britain. I sincerely don¡¦t
want any decent human being to try out university and deprive over
there ¡V in Britain.
Finally for those devoted and dedicated parents considering British
School for the Beverly-Hill budget type of education. AUSTRALIAN
AND AMERICAN STUDENTS pay the same fees as the overseas students
for their University Education, they are much friendlier (with a
real heart, just like any good human should have) than the arrogant
British. In those countries, Chinese students are considered to be
smart in science subjects; however, they are all right about that.
Unlike UK, jealousy is not an issue when fair competition IS THE
FUNDAMENTAL DRIVE OF THEIR ECONOMIES for centuries.
Why the Singapore parents would pay a fortune to some mysterious
old school in Britain for an uncertain academic attainment that
they knew little about while certain that British would be NASTY
and DEPRIVE against ¡§Chinese KIDS¡¨ (they look down on us as worse
than house maid ¡V in British Mind)
Will it be better to save up those money and buy a Real House with
a real big garden.
British secondary school place is just over-priced, the education
service has not even seen before such commitment of purchases. Does
it make any sense, at all????
Since I was young, I do the best that I can, being hardworking in
all my exam and project. Recently, I also volunteer to provide free
on-line tutor in an official web site: etvonline.tv come and have a
look

Uhhuh... i think its next door you're wanting.
