Steering MDIS beyond the Red Dot
Add BT as a preferred source
A Graduate Employment Survey (GES) published in April noted the perceived gap between Private Education Institutions (PEIs) and public universities, in that graduates from the three publicly funded universities - the National University of Singapore (NUS), Nanyang Technological University (NTU) and Singapore Management University (SMU) - landed jobs much more quickly than graduates from private schools.
The private education industry has of late undergone a shake-up, wrought by a series of stringent requirements imposed on PEIs by the Committee for Private Education (CPE): Some of these requirements include a minimum credit rating and mandatory participation in yearly graduate surveys.
The operating environment for PEIs has thus become increasingly challenging, which has opened up the gulf between private and public institutions.
