I also worry if this kid becomes a scholar and subsequently a Minister.

However, they may also be grooming him to be a TowKay...just get others to do the work???

After all, they can well afford it.

Giving cash to students for good character?

And this is coming from MOE? The heart of our educational system.

What is wrong with them?

This year, the Education Ministry is launching a new Edusave Character Award for students who demonstrate exemplary values and civic responsibility through their behaviour and actions

Teachers will nominate students for the yearly award, which comes with a cash sum of $200 to $500. Up to 10,000 students are expected to win this new award every year.

2. The trend will END but I don't know WHEN.

The Great Student Loan Debt Default: Over $270 Billion in Loans Are 30 Days Or More Past Due
by Mac Slavo

Like the housing bubble, which was predicated on easy money and rising prices, student loan lending has increased to unprecedented levels over the last decade.

There is some $1 Trillion in outstanding student loan debt in the United States, the majority of it borrowed by individuals who were sold the idea that they could go to college, party with their buddies at fraternity and sorority houses for four years, get a piece of paper that says they’ve received higher education, and then land a job paying $100,000 a year right out of school.

Somewhere along the way, however, things changed. When these highly educated young adults finally received their degrees, it turned out that all of those hundred thousand dollar jobs they were promised were either exported to countries where laborers are paid a fraction of the cost to do the same work, or they simply evaporated as demand for goods and services in America and around the world collapsed.

With no jobs, no way to pay for their own livings expenses, and a mountain of debt an alarming 85% of 2011 college graduates were forced to move back in with mom and dad after they got out of school.

The Student Loan Bubble is the Next Subprime By Martin Hutchinson

Don't look now but there's another giant bubble out there. It's so big it rivals subprime.

I'm talking about the student loan bubble.

Recently, the outstanding volume of student loans passed $1 trillion. What's more bothersome is that the average individual amount owed by new college graduates has passed $25,000.

With college costs zooming upwards faster than inflation, this is rapidly becoming another subprime mortgage-like sinkhole.

Just like subprime, the problem is that people of modest means are being suckered by high-pressure salesmen into taking on too much debt.

The difference is that since student loans are government guaranteed and can't be released in bankruptcy, the burdens will be paid by the unfortunate ex-students and the U.S. taxpayer.
