Private university<\/p>\n
From Kompas<\/p>\n
Many scholars can give advice on how to choose a good and
\nbonafide private university. But none can show parents the way to
\navoid unnecessary expenses imposed by private universities.<\/p>\n
It has been a practice for the private universities to collect
\nentrance fees from the students who are admitted to the
\nuniversities before the results of the state examination are
\nannounced. In case a potential student passes the examination and
\nis admitted to the state university of his\/her choice, the
\nprivate university will reimburse the fee already paid by the
\nstudent concerned only after deducting 10 percent. This practice
\nis a great burden to parents who are often civil servants with
\nsmall salaries. They have to save years before they can send
\ntheir children to a private university.<\/p>\n
Would it be possible for the Minister of Education and Culture
\nto introduce a decision which requires that the private
\nuniversities announce the students accepted for admission only
\nafter the state universities announce their new students? This
\nwould prevent parents from losing money by being forced to cancel
\nenrollments in the private universities.<\/p>\n
