 I've been wondering, KYUEM, why on earth is it 80k for A-levels?

Yeah that Amir Palermo dude, still think it's a little big of an exaggeration though... 23%? Seriously?

To get to know whats really in it, one must go to edu fair and grabbed two of its prospectuses, one consists of general description abt the colege, another about their long list of students that enter OXbridge + other unis, there is one girl who get into stanford oso if im not mistaken. a huge portion of tis students made it to prestigous unis in UK tho not all got into OXbridge...namely IMperial, UCL, KCL, Warwick, Bristol, Cardiff, Manchester bath and etc etc... so it is really impressive.

What i think that can justifies the 80k needed to be forked out by its students are its almost-to-none list of lecturers
which is mostly "imported" from overc and its boarding services... However, if i were to compare KYUEM and KTJ, KTJ stand in much better, lol although im not a student of any of the both, if anoyone ask me abt choices, my preferential goes to the latter. 80k for boarding skol A levels is consider cheap already, try googling Concorde College and you will be shock to know its rate of Oxbirdge and MIT/ HArvard admit and also its beatiful price.

I wouldn't call it an accusation. It's an intelligent speculation. Higher fees means greater financial flexibility to compensate teachers. Higher compensation means greater ability to attract the right crowd. So it's not illogical to surmise that out of the lot at KYUEM, there would be some teachers who have an extensive networks that include tutors in UK universities.

Do you know how potent and effective networks are?

Yes, i gotta agree with you on that point.. Effective networks and "cables" do carry alot of weight. Not to say accuse or whatever, but one shud know that even the headmaster of KYUEM is a pure 100% brit, and i think that sure carries alot of weight.

Besides that, most of those who go to KYUEM are quite well-off, esp privately-sponsored ones, hence, its definitely not a problem for them to fork out 80k. even the sponsored ones included, not all scholars there are hardcore poor, bear in mind, some scholars are also very wealthy scholars.

[/QUOTE]Yeah, one JPA scholar whose parents are doctors. Not to say all doctors are rich but surely they are more deserving ones.



LOL....dat is an understatement actually, nowdays , you can have students with parents whom are millionaires director/MD of thier own company claiming themselves to be "poor" and eyeing on a share of the piece of scholarship cake meant for the hardcore poor and middle-income earners actually.
