From its advertisement, I think 5 got Cambridge this year, one in med, one eng, two law and another.
I've been wondering, KYUEM, why on earth is it 80k for A-levels?

QUOTE(feynman @ Apr 18 2012, 04:47 AM) 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. To a certain extent, the "right" PS and recommendation letter plays a very important part. They are many straight As students in Taylors n Sunway but getting into Oxbridge is another matter. You don't need expatriate to teach A levels to score. They do make a difference, however, along the way.Do you know how potent and effective networks are? |

QUOTE(acgerlok7 @ Apr 18 2012, 09:07 AM) 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. Yeah, one JPA scholar whose parents are doctors. Not to say all doctors are rich but surely they are more deserving ones.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. |
