THERE were 16,991 foreign students in public universities as at September, Deputy Higher Education Minister Dr Hou Kok Chung said yesterday. - New Straits Times, Dewan Rakyat, 9/12/2008
Well, it is very good to hear this BUT the question is whether these students are taking places that could have been available for Malaysian students?
Yes - education has become a business - and certainly these 16,991 would help local education institutions generate income - but should not our concern be the provision of educational opportunities to Malaysian students - especially those who cannot afford to go overseas to get their diploma/degrees.
