As part of the scholarship programme, the students are promised a “digitally-savvy environment, where techniques and methodologies will prepare them for 21st-century challenges”.

Scholarship for them, higher school fees for us
Didn’t our government continually promise that CECA is to our benefit, saying that we will learn from them? Why are they sending people here to learn “techniques and methodologies” from our “digitally-savvy environment” then?
Some more, what makes them deserve SGD90,000 a year? In contrast, it was recently announced that Singaporeans will have to pay slightly higher polytechnic and ITE Nitec fees for 2022 academic year. We all know who are the government’s favorites.
