Registration for Industry Briefing
Registration for the industry briefing is closed.
The Ministry of Education (MOE) will move a Private Education (PE) Bill in Parliament in the second half of 2009 to institute a new regulatory regime for the private education sector. The move is aimed at improving the quality of our private education sector and to enhance Singapore’s reputation as a global education hub.
To provide an overview of the PE Bill and an outline of the proposed regulatory features, a briefing has been scheduled for all Private Education Institutions (PEIs) offering the following programmes:
- Degree and diploma (whether full-time or part-time basis);
- Full-time post-secondary certificate;
- Full-time preparatory courses for the purpose of preparing students for entrance/placement tests for joining MOE mainstream schools, or for external examinations; and
- Full-time primary or secondary education wholly or substantially in accordance with a foreign or international curriculum, i.e. foreign system schools.
