SINGAPORE: Over the past three years, half of all Singaporeans who applied to the three public universities here received at least one offer from a university.
This was revealed in Education Minister Ng Eng Hen's written answer to MP for Ang Mo Kio GRC, Wee Siew Kim.
Dr Ng added that no Singaporean who qualifies for admission to the universities is denied a place.
There is a 20 per cent cap on the number of international students at local universities.
The minister also added that a small number of university applicants have also qualified under special circumstances.
For example, a few talents aged as young as 14 have been accepted by the Yong Siew Toh Conservatory of Music for their exceptional gift in music.
