Singapore mum spends $2000 on daughter's tuition...

A veteran educator herself, Mrs Marietta Koh pays around $2,000 per term to put her daughter through tuition classes.

This is despite her belief that tuition can hurt society, since not all can afford it.

Is tuition a necessary evil? She certainly thinks so.

Mrs Koh says: "The idea that education is the great equaliser used to be true, but things have changed as parents become more affluent.

"The rising trend of tuition is worrisome because it is money that gives parents the ability to purchase advantages for their children." Full story...
