FYIP, nowadays austrailian degrees and diplomas are worth less
in Singapore's employer's eyes.
I'm 16, and my old schoolmates who went over told me that their
syllabus is roughly 3 years behind ours (i.e. learning calculus at
about only 19/20 years old while I have already learnt it for O'
Levels), both at secondary and tertiary education levels.
Australia has close to 40 universities, and Britain about 70+,
the US? Close to 4,000. With these vast numbers it's easy for
people to find some mediocre universities there to claim that local
U is better. which is of cos a sad joke.
An analogy to describe this is like a loser marrying the ugliest
fattest girl out of 10,000 girls in a room and saying that you feel
proud you manage to be married.
Many Singaporeans, from both JC and poly, will try to and
eventually go to Australia's top universities. There's about 8 of
them, I didn't go to Australia but you can look it up on the net.
Melbourne, Sydney, UNSW, Monash, UQ, UWA, ANU and Adelaide. I can
assure you that Singapore employers take employees from these
universities any day over local grads.
