Allow more people to attend the university courses

I attended a symposium at NUS.

A participant suggested that NUS should allow the public to attend its classes, if there are vacant places. The university representative said that it cost the university $24,000 a year to train an undergraduate, of which 75% is subsidised by the government. Priority has to be given to the undergraduates.

Here is my suggestion.

Perhaps each lecture hall can have a video camera. The public can log in through the internet and watch the classes. It may not be as good as being in class, but it is the next best available.

Bloomberg TV allows the public to view snippets of their programs through the internet.
