Vantaggi
Good structure driven by the government of Singapore. Wide spectrum of courses and caters to diverse groups of students.
Svantaggi
It is very clear, from your interviews that the lecturers are burnt out, forced to be put into a box and denied growth opportunities. Once you understand how senior management behaves and hires, it's easy to understand why. They look out for junior lecturers who are easy to fit into their system of subservience, so that the management team at the top continues to thrive with minimal effort. Show any hint of anti-establishment, and prepared to face wrath from the top. Do a few interviews with different polytechnics in Singapore, and you would realise how different the toxic culture is at NYP. It's unfortunate because there are good people at the lower ranks, who would forever be left behind because of bad culture coming from the top. Wake up people. Do your part for the future generation and stop this self-serving bs.
