My relative had signed up under Joint-Poly-Scheme (5 years
bond), after his o-level, to further his study in local poly. He
did pretty well in his study and get the offer from NUS.
Now, my problem is: he signed on as a technician and currently
is serving his NS, is it possible for him to apply others SAF
scheme to further his study in NUS, during his current bond period?
Must he complete his current bond, then can go uni?
Nowadays and in the past, any tom, dick or harry can get into
NUS. This is why diploma students find it way easier to get in now.
They are opening up more places in the three local dumps and taking
in almost anyone who applies. The number of places in the three
local dumps add up together is a smaller number than the total
number of A level and IB students. With the top 5% of A level/IB
students creamed off overseas to top universities on scholarships,
and another 20% of children of rich in JC and poly who only go
overseas to study because its a lifestyle for them and they can
well afford to, there is plenty of room left for non A level/IB
students.
Supply larger than demand. What a joke.
