School-fee change for foreigners
From 2001, those who have acquired citizenship or permanent
residency here, but have not done so for their children, no longer
enjoy concessionary rates when enrolling them in school.
Foreign students already in school are not affected. The move links
the fees paid by the students in government and government-aided schools
to their own citizenship and residency status, instead of that of their
parents. Without concessions, a foreign secondary-school student, say, pays S$130 a month instead of S$5.
The new policy also applies to dependents of work-pass holders. Such
students entering government or government-aided schools, junior colleges
and centralised institutions for the first time will pay concessionary
fees for the first two years. From the third year, the following will
apply:
Primary school S$80 monthly
Secondary school S$130 monthly
Junior college S$240 monthly
