SINGAPORE: Open University aids migrant workers
An imaginative and heartening move by Singapore's Open University is
opening educational windows of opportunity for some of the country's
migrant labour force. In
collaboration with the Indonesian Embassy, the OU is offering
pre-degree tuition and four bachelor degree courses to Indonesian
domestic workers - a female cohort that often makes the headlines in the city-state for all the wrong reasons.
Recent years have seen a number of high profile cases of serious abuse
of Indonesian servants in Singapore and neighbouring Malaysia as well
as the Gulf countries. So frequent were the deaths of Indonesian maids
falling from windows of high-rise apartment blocks in Singapore while
carrying out domestic duties that the English-language daily The
Jakarta Post headlined a report on the issue 'Singapore's killing
fields'.
Many of the young Indonesian women arrive in Singapore with little or
no English and almost none have any Chinese language proficiency. The
OU offers affordable English-language tuition to help the women cross
that gap, English being more or less a lingua franca on the island.
The OU also offers English pre-degree
computer training, a field likely to be entirely new for young women
drawn from small provincial towns or rural communities, as well as four
degrees covering accounting, business administration and government
studies.
Students take the courses on campus where they mix freely with
Singaporean students and others. Already some graduates have reported
that the way has been opened to them for better and more fulfilling
employment back home. One ex-servant now holds down a job on a local newspaper.
A number of Indonesian women workers wanting to take up the courses
have been held back by employers not allowing them to fit education
with their work schedules.
The OU and the Indonesian Embassy, however, are buoyed by the success
of the scheme and have announced plans to expand it to Hong Kong and
the Gulf, where there are large Indonesian female labour forces.

i think she dun has a open heart, the british and america educated the world to make themselve more prosperous and gracious, they can alway shut down their universities to all foreigners, but they understand that by educating the world, the whole world benefits from it, but that does not mean anyone can be educated, you need to qualify for it.
In SE Asia, no doubt we are the best land for education, and if we will to bring the whole SE asia and even the world up, we should do our part to help all which in turn help us to more prosperity and gracious.

You want me to treat you gently, have you ever treat guys here as gentlemen? Any guys? ever? Have you ever engage forumites here in meaningful debate in politics? Other than teasing, scolding and bashing them?
I never find or get support here to be against you and you know it. I always treat you well even when you gone too far. But this time I have to tell you off.
Enough said, I don't go on this with you.

I have said to her over and over again - she comes here disrupt discussions, there are times she speaks ill of PAP and when others do the same she is not happy and start to give nuisance.
Think she is only relevant and excellent in talking on topics on sex and how to lure dirty men to her dirty pub.
