The school fees should be the same as those normal fees we singaporean are paying or will it be higher?

Once School approve them to study in their school, is it a breeze to apply for student pass? And is it easy for their mum to become a Viet Pei Du Ma Ma? The mum no prior conviction in singapore, totally clean record.

Do you think there will be any subsidy for foreigners in Singapore? if government does that, half of vietnam, half of china, half of india and half of philippines will be here. I am not being bad, but if the parents are financially not very strong, they can forget about studying here. Although the school fees in government school is cheaper ($1140 for Primary School and $1860 for secondary school, per annum- that is S$95 or 1.572m VND per month for primary school) than private schools , other expenses like daily living, rental etc will be much higher than vietnam.

Thanks. So there is not much of a problem except cash flow problem. As long as school accept u, u are on sure way to getting a student pass. Applying for their mum to come over should not be a problem too?

What I wan to know is ica there, what are going to be the potential problem encountered.

Thanks thanks.

Things are not even underway, why scared ICA ?

First, you have to find out is there a scheme for "Pei Du Ma Ma" for Vietnam ?

If the scheme is not offered to them, whats the point of discussing here.

Second, if there is , Who is her sponsor ? You ?

Third, Prepare $$$ for non-subsidised School Fees , Medical Fee and etc ...

4th, Lodging ?

Lastly, no point keep asking here ... its best to seek advice from the correct source.

If you need my help, I can help her to connect to a school. But it's not a governement. This school accepts quite a number of foreigner.

yah u are right,seriously i see no point in those pei du mama bring their kids here to study.Look at those from china,they work illegally here and cause problem.Even average singaporean who earn household income of less than 2k every month found it tough with 2 kids and dont talk about foreigner like pei du ma ma who cannot earn an income here.

Golden question · #**13463** 16-04-2012, 08:55 AM

This topic of education makes me want to start sharing on my wife's brother who want to send his son to sg to study which i post before.During my recent trip back,i have a chat with my wife and she say he hope his son can study up to university in vietnam.As i know normal wage for local uni there is around few hundred,i joke with her that is lesser than a cashier here.

She then say he hope his son can go sg and study and stay there and work.I told her straight away that dont think come sg study and graduate already can stay here and work.Is totally wrong.I explain to her that only those top graduate who come out from local uni or good private uni have higher chance of getting a job here but if he graduate from those not so well know one like private school,is difficult to get a job here.

I guess they always have the wrong thinking of just by sending their children here to study,they are able to stay here for long after graduate and get a job here.Same as those pei du ma ma who bring their kids here

Looking at the angle ,

I admire them ....

Willing to sacrifice to let their children to have the best education.

To them its opportunites ... possible gains ... Unless they are using this loophole to work illegally and make $$$ for themselves ..

Sometimes we talk like this becoz we have the luxury of doing so ... In Singapore, we as parents also want the best education for our child ... send them to best child care, best school, learn piano, tuitions and etc ...

The affordable ones can do so, but wat about the unfortunate ones.

If we say they got no point bringing them to study, then whats the point we here in sg spending $$$ to "cultivate" our child?

Ask ourselves, if we can afford ... we will send our child to overseas - US, UK, Australia, Scotland; for studies to get their degrees ????

So Are we not the same as them ???????

All in all, It's al the same, the only difference is the scenerio is presented in another way ... and also in terms of how much $$$ we have .
