Weak means weak. Simi university is a lot about wealth. Typical statement made by people who cannot make it.

Smart people get scholarships. Poor people get bursaries. Hardworking people teach tuition to earn money.

Local uni where got cost 80k, 100k?

The nus thing is just an example people use. The lesson here is to study properly in a top university and get a proper cert.

If you fly to University College London and get your Masters in Education there, ok, still got hope. Keep using money for your distance learning programs, and you will only keep repeating your mistakes.
The part-time masters I am doing is directly from the Institute of Education, University College London. It is different from the London External Program. For one, it costs a few times more. And another, there are study seminars with UCL profs. I also contact with my personal tutors and profs. It is also pretty much research-based. The external program doesn't even offer the course I have studying.

I did think about studying on-campus but I would probably need about 80-100k SGD (the nett course fee itself was about 50k sgd), which I am sure someone like you has.

Smart people get scholarships? Sure, if you are the top 1%, you have a chance. I can't get it, it is too difficult.

Poor people get bursaries? Sure, try calling NUS/NTU (the best in duh world) for a 'bursary' for their courses, be it undergrad or post-grad.

I didn't have the exceptional experience of attending years of lectures in NTU/NUS. But I did sit in for a few lectures in the past. Imaging 2-hour daily lectures for a year or 4 years under the average Professor in a Proper University such as NUS or NTU. Oh boy, what great joy it must be both intellectually, visually and auditorily.

For example, NTU's (Proper Top Class University's) Prof Tan (Top Class Proper Prof) shows his high-level wisdom:

Congrats to all his students for making the wise choice of paying 30k to listen to him speak. Quality education.
