Private Education Institution

As a Private Education Institution (PEI) in Singapore, having schemes in place to protect your students and their course fees will help distinguish you as a quality private school that students can trust.
 

What insurance does a PEI need?

The Committee for Private Education (CPE) administers 2 main schemes to protect course fees paid by students in the event that a PEI is unable to continue operating. On top of that, hospitalisation insurance for students is also necessary for a PEI to be certified with EduTrust, a mark that that distinguishes private schools which are able to consistently maintain a high standard of quality in the overall provision of education services and make continual improvements that lead to positive student outcomes. 

Industry-Wide Course Fee Protection Scheme insurance (IWC) 

This industry-wide scheme is generally required for all PEIs under the Enhanced Registration Framework (ERF), which sets the minimum standards that all PEIs must meet. IWC covers primarily the course fees of students in each PEI in the event of insolvency or regulatory closure of PEI or PEI’s failure to pay sum awarded by Singapore Courts to the insured student, up to a limit of $2 mil per event. 

Fee Protection Scheme (FPS)

For PEIs who wish to attain and maintain the EduTrust certification, a Fee Protection Scheme (FPS) has to be in place, a regulatory insurance mechanism to ensure the protection of course fees paid by all students to the PEI. We can help you establish the FPS with a CPE-appointed insurer.

Hospitalisation insurance for students

The EduTrust certification also encourages PEIs to have a hospitalisation insurance policy, covering students who are enrolled with the school in the event they need to be hospitalized or undergo surgery whilst studying in Singapore. With Howden, you will have access to student medical insurance that are competitively priced.
