Use caution in choosing Singapore Schools, students warned
Students have been urged to use discretion when choosing certain Singapore educational institutes that have been accused of charging high fees without living up to the promise of employment.
The Sri Lankan High Commission in Singapore has issued a statement in this regard based on numerous complaints received by students. Most students find courses of study in Singapore through an agent who usually received a commission based on enrolment, the HC warns students to be extremely cautious when using an agent and advises they check with the Ministry of Higher Education or the High Commission of Sri Lanka for assistance.
"Most of these institutions are not of repute or of academic standing but the fees charged range between SD 4,000 to 7,000 (equivalent to SLR 300,000 - 500,000) for a six month to one year course," the Sri Lankan High Commission in Singapore said in the statement.
