SG schools using 'PR status' carrot to recruit China pupils?

QX179R SG

STOMPer Stefanie asks if early childhood schools here are using the Singapore PR status as an incentive, to recruit more pupils from China.

The STOMPer asks this after reading an online news report that says that 80% of the parents in China attending a recruitment drive have questions about getting PR status for their children.

The STOMPer said:

"I'm shocked to read this.

"Is the Singapore nursery dangling PR status as the carrot to recruit more pupils?

"The parents were asking questions like 'what's the criteria to get PR status?', 'Is S'pore a good springboard for venturing elsewhere?'

"They seem more concerned about these, than the education itself at a recruitment fair held in a 5-star hotel in Hankou, China."

The report also said that '80% of the parents' are there with questions about the Singapore PR status.

According to the report, the pupils get a chance to apply for PR status after two years in Singapore.

The british brought us here as coolies and labourers. We didn't take this land. We didn't invade and occupy this land.

We didn't kill or exterminate any local native people and grab their land like the western colonialists.
