Uni Fees to Go Up !!!

Oh well.. I may have graduated and don't foresee myself stepping into any of the local Universities soon... but well you are looking at close to 6k per year and by no means is that cheap. I'm sure the counter arguement will be that it's already heavily subsidised and increasing costs and so on... especially that it never upped the fees for the last 3 years.

Okies...let's see when was the last time NS revised it's allowance? Last year? And when was the other time? Some 10-12 years ago. Now what about NUS/NTU? 3 years ago?

But hey it's so easy for them to increase the fees but it took them 10 years to realise that our NSFs are grossly underpaid?

But crap aside... is the increase in fees justified? Are the students getting quality professors overall? My gut feeling is that the majority of the professors are here to do research, to publish papers and NOT to teach. The students are defintely short changed. And now to upp the tuition fees to allow these people to do research? Hmm.. oh well. I'm not saying that all professors are like that... I have meet exceptional ones too. However, the environment is such that if you don't publish you get out. Education has taken a back seat. Without proper education, how do you develope researchers?

Okies... enuff said
