Good education, but at what cost?

WHEN rebuking another’s article, it is imperative to get one’s facts right. I am referring to the letter “System is far from being world-class” (The Star, March 7) by V. Chandran of Singapore.

I wrote that University College London, while ranked seventh overall in the world, is also ranked 50th for engineering and technology. Is this not “a whisker above” Universiti Malaya, ranked 54th for the same discipline?
