Private Education Act

COMMITTEE FOR PRIVATE EDUCATION (CPE) 

The Committee for Private Education (CPE) was appointed by the Skills Future Singapore (SSG) Board in October 2016 to carry out its functions and powers relating to private education under the Private Education Act. The CPE is supported by a team of dedicated staff from SSG to regulate the sector, provide student services, consumer education, and facilitate capability development efforts to uplift standards in the local private education industry. 

ENHANCED REGISTRATION FRAMEWORK (ERF) 

 The Enhanced Registration Framework (ERF), as set out under the PE Act and the Private Education Regulations and administered by the CPE, spells out the mandatory registration requirements and legislative obligations which all private education institutions (PEIs) operating in and from Singapore must meet. The ERF aims to ensure that PEIs in Singapore meet a certain standard to protect the interests of students enrolled in their institutions.
