SITC Vietnam closed


Here's news from Vietnam(09-02-2006).
"At least 30,000 students and 1,000 teachers remain puzzled by the closure of the English-language schools operated by Singapore International Teaching Consultancy (SITC) nationwide. If the centre is unable to re-open classes, SITC will have to offer compensation for its students, teachers and workers according to Viet Nam’s laws, and the investors will face sanctions under the country’s regulations. " Now what kind of conscience could the man behind it have? He better have some explanations up his sleeve. Singapore won't like this.

Problem is SITC has also its Phnom Penh and Siem Riep branches. Will they close too? The Cambodian Daily reported that the Cambodian brances will remain open. My only interest with this issue is that I took my MBA courses from them (under Preston University). Well ok it's not so much the money or the time for me since I had good professors and I enjoyed my study with my Khmer classmates (plus two Chinese, and one Japanese). It was a privilege to have studied with them, I can tell you that. They've really been so professional. But this thing about the school's uncertainty is altogether different. Hmm, let's see... my classmates might be on a rampage right now... better make some calls and check them out!
