This is a very negative move, and will fragment education further.....and I can foresee so much potential abuses of this system....
Together with the proposed increased matrik intake, this move shows the education minister has no idea what quality education means....he is just doing damage control by taking turns pleasing both sides of the political divide..... |

QUOTE(Stamp @ May 2 2019, 01:48 PM) The entry requirements via this SATU channel are still the same with the entry requirements via UPU, isnt it? That's not the point.....the point is, you either get in with skin colour, or with money....what message are we giving out?....The main difference is that those who go through this SATU channel will need to pay full tuition fees if admitted to the university. The negative aspect of this scheme is that fewer places will be available for students applying via UPU since the university will need to "reserve" a certain number of places for applicants from this SATU channel so that it can earn additional income from the SATU channel applicants.  The full fees places will NOT reduce the upu places.....it's "excess capacity" the uni has.....eg, it has full capacity for 200 students in the medical program, but in recent years, it has been ordered to reduce intake due to oversupply of doctors, to 150....so they have excess capacity of 50 to sell..... |

QUOTE(Stamp @ May 2 2019, 10:39 PM) Then it will defeat the purpose of trying to reduce the oversupply of doctors if the supposedly “excess capacity” of medical places in UM is to be filled up with full tuition fee students. I ran out of counts how many policies conflict with other policies.....Msia really boleh..... |

At least the minimum required for medicine is significantly higher than all the private degree mills out there.....
Interesting to see how Singapore will view this group.....exclude from recognition? |
