Singapore School Fees 2026: MOE Fee Schedule Guide

About School Fees 

In Singapore, local students are automatically granted an Edusave account, which is used to receive annual monetary contributions from the government to pay for a portion of school fees. However, the proportion that is covered differs amongst the varying levels of education. 

In 2023, it was announced that “Singaporean primary school students at government and government-aided schools will not have to pay any out-of-pocket fees from 2026, when enhancements are made to the Edusave scheme and the MOE Financial Assistance Scheme (FAS).” 

To understand how payments are made and what subsidies are available, refer to the following article!
