OVERSEEING PRIVATE EDUCATION IN SINGAPORE

The Private Education Regulations 2009, operating within the framework of the Private Education Act, are a comprehensive set of regulations governing the private education sector in Singapore. These regulations are administered and enforced by the Skills and Workforce Development Agency (SWDA).

The Private Education Act provides the foundation for the oversight and regulation of the private education sector. Under its authority, SWDA is empowered to manage the implementation of the EduTrust certification. This certification is an important element in ensuring the protection of students' interests and upholding the reputation of the private education sector in Singapore.

Cooling-Off Period

The PEI will provide the student with a cooling-off period of ten (10) calendar days commencing from and including the date of the Contract.

The student will be refunded all Programme Fees and Miscellaneous Fees paid to KHEA within seven (7) working days of the receipt of the written notice.

Fee Protection Scheme (FPS)

KHEA has in place a Fee Protection Scheme Group Insurance (FPS-G) to protect applicable fees paid by local and international students. FPS protects students’ fees in the event that a PEI is unable to continue operating due to insolvency, and/or closure, as well as if a PEI is unable to pay a judgement sum due to a student. Under the FPS Group Insurance, COI will be issued to the PEIs by the FPS Insurance Providers with a determined insurable amount to cover all programme fees to be collected by the PEI during the period of indemnity.  

KHEA has appointed Lonpac Insurance Bhd as our FPS insurance provider.
