Erm... Becos SP student intake has been declining in recent
years(according to my lecturer) and NP, being nearest to us, is
touted as the culprit. Hehe..
(U (may or may not) know, in soccer matches, Derby is the term used
when teams from the same city compete against each other. The
teams, being in the same city, fought hard to win the match to
determine who's the best and who's the wimp. Thus in the city of
Manchester, The red devil triumps the boo-boo boys of blue(off
topic).)
And so SP and NP are loggerheads. Oh by the way, if u've been to
both schools, u wouldn't have tot that SP is an older school.
The rivary is definitely not pointless cos the director's and the
shareholder's income is at stake. Let me give u a simple anology.
Our school fee for 2 sem = $1050 * 2 = $2100. And the number of
student in each department is roughly 1000 to 1800(year 1 to year
3, but we'll take the number of student as 1500). Total amount of
money receive from each department = $2100 * 1500 = $3.15 million.
How many departments are there? SMIT, SB, SEEE, SME, SMTS, SCLS = 6
= about $18 millions in revenue generated.
If SP were to keep on losing its student intake and NP's student
intake is on the rise, see how many millions of dollars is
lost?
Cheers.
