SINGAPORE - Some 1,800 international pupils who applied to enter Primary 1 this year (2017) were rejected, Ms Low Yen Ling, Senior Parliamentary Secretary for Education said on Monday (Oct 2).

"Our public school system is designed to cater to the needs of Singaporean students," she said, responding to a question in Parliament from Mr Ong Teng Koon, an MP for Marsiling-Yew Tee GRC.

"We welcome eligible international students to study in our schools. They can help to cultivate a global orientation and intercultural skills in our students, and enrich the overall educational environment in Singaporean schools," said Ms Low.

She said that the Ministry of Education (MOE) values the diversity that these foreign students bring to local schools, but its priority is to serve the educational needs of Singaporeans.

"Thus we only offer a limited number of places to international students each year," she said. "While MOE will continue to make available places in our mainstream schools for international students, we will not be able to meet the demand entirely."

The Straits Times reported last year (2016) that a growing number of foreigners are finding it tougher to find places in local schools for their children.

Miss Low, MOE and The Shit Times which one do you trust?

The widely respected DPM Tharman recently praised the Straits Times for being a responsible media that advances the collective interests of all sinkies.

How about rejecting the working permit application of foreigners? If they kick out 500,000 foreigners working in sinkapore, that would be real news.

Oops... I left you out, my apology. Kanlimah says birds of the same feathers do good do together.

“The proportions of international and PR students in local schools have remained fairly constant in recent years, at 5 per cent and 9 per cent respectively.”

This means they are still letting more foreigners in!

If these foreigners cannot afford to study in international schools, they have no reason to be here.
If the Pinoys are so smart like what Tan Chuan Jin said, why not open PINOY INTERNATIONAL SCHOOLS and earn
big bucks from the high demand for places?
Ever wonder why there are no PINOY medical/nursing, retail or IT schools here despite employers here employing them by the thousands? If they are as good as what employers claim, why NO pinoy open schools to impart their skills and knowledge to the world?
same thing for the Indian FT's here-why no INDIAN school of finance and banking or Indian IT college/university here -since they are employed here in hordes?
