THE Ministry of Education has started another round of public consultation on the new Private Education (PE) Bill, which will set out the provisions of regulatory levers for the new regulatory regime.
It is seeking feedback from the public and key stakeholders over three weeks until July 21.
This follows an eight-week public consultation exercise on the key features of the new regulatory regime for the private education (PE) sector from March 11 to May 6.
In the earlier round, MOE received comments from over 100 respondents from the PE sector and 50 students and members of the public through various platforms.
The new regulatory regime for the PE sector will see a new scheme called EduTrust, which covers mandatory enhanced registration framework and the voluntary quality assurance certification.
The new PE Bill will be tabled in Parliament by the third quarter of this year.
The consultation guidelines, summary of the draft PE Bill and a copy of the Bill itself can be found in the Government's central consultation portal (www.reach.gov.sg), as well as at MOE's website at www.moe.gov.sg.
Interested members of the public can send their comments on the new PE Bill to MOE directly via email, fax or post at the following:
