Benefits in the long run


I AM writing in response to the letter “Worse off after degree” (StarEducation, March 23) The letter gives a one-sided view and fails to provide the complete picture. This case reminds me of an elder sister crying because her younger sister got a bigger slice of the cake.

Comparing this scenario with Sudham-ma’s case, we see some similarities. Is she worse off after obtaining her degree? Of course not. It is ridiculous to even suggest that the Education Ministry would penalise those who obtain higher qualifications.
