They are a lot of international schools and private schools around.

The school fees isn't really that "cheap"

Single guy like me feel a bit worry as someone I am dating(not gf, just someone I met on dating app) tells me that she wants to send her future kid to those school.

Are those parents who send their kids to these schools really rich?

Nobody likes to spend 50~70k a year for primary/secondary education.

But look at the quality of our national school.

You are dating not your girlfriend?....

Failure of Msian education system....escape valve for those who can afford....

Just like 30 years ago, they liberalised university education, allowed many private colleges and universities, when the NEP quota in ipta hits the nons....

some parents want to separate their kids from the normal average kids so they spend more money to send their kids to private international schools for education as compare to normal sekolah kebangsaan while another group of parents are those who assumes these type of school are more prestigious and will have a better education system for their kids' future

Another perk for parents to send their kids to international school is to mix with corporate big shots & children of royalty. Thereby ensuring their children's future is secured when networking with rich kids easier for their future. My classmate told me about it & so is my cousin.

Yeah, 99% of our politicians never send their kids to SK

Jho Low's parents planned his future this way, that's why he has very rich & connected friends all over the world.

because they cash rich dowan jatuh standard go sk

Some are rich, some are very rich and some aren't rich at all.

Many of them are there because the company they work for sponsors it as a perk of a job. Many of them do get hefty discounts on the fees because they are employees of the company that owns the school.

There are also some of these schools that around 5% of the student population are there on full scholarships.

Worth the money?? Absolutely considering what kind of rubbish the SK, SRK, SJKC etc have become.

uni ada kuota,

Where there is demand.....there will be supply.....

i disagree.

in this case its "where there is kiasu, there will will be supply."

Malay is sending their kid to private school while shouting vernacular school is the problem of unity. Ban all private school first.

you dont know education industry is one of the best business around?

Few ways to approach this

1. Ditch the girl and forget about international school
2. Earn enough
3. Find clever girl to mate and get clever children so that they can qualify for scholarship
4. Work for companies that own these type of school e.g. Sapura charges 50% for employees children
5. Work for companies that pays for children's private education
6. Send children to local schools and keep your money for their tertiary education

Lol got money why go sk

The irony is if they go to a better government school, the money saved would have set the kids for life..

They know that private and international school title can easily suck the money from the rich which probably not rich enough to send children overseas or just like to keep children close

A guy name mazly cause a lot of ppl to go for private ones

People just have the false impression that if it's an international school, the quality of education is top tier. Whilst it might be true, but some local schools aren't that far off either. But you cant blame the parents for wanting what's best for their kid(s). If they have money to spare, why not.
