Registration Fees
The fee structure under the Enhanced Registration Framework reflects the stepped-up enforcement in this regulatory regime, where more resources are required to ensure that PEIs comply with the higher standards.
The fees payable by a PEI will be determined by its annual gross turnover:
- A “large” PEI is one with an annual gross turnover of S$15 million or more in its last financial year;
- A “medium” PEI is one with an annual gross turnover between S$1 million and S$15 million in its last financial year;
- A “small” PEI is one with an annual gross turnover of less than S$1 million in its last financial year. A new PEI is considered a “small” PEI.
However, in view of the moratorium on fee hike by government agencies introduced as part of the government-wide effort to help the small and medium enterprises cope with the economic recession, a rebate will be provided to bring the resultant fees payment by private education institutions down to the current fee level (shown in Table A below) when applications are made during the fee freeze period.

PEIs should be aware that with the lapse of the moratorium on fee hike, all fees, with the exception of registration fees for new PEIs, will revert to the new fee structure. The rebate on the registration fees for new PEIs will expire with the lapse of the moratorium on fee hike, or at the completion of the transition, whichever is later
