Why CASETRUST for Education?

CaseTrust is an award given to businesses in Singapore that are committed towards maintaining a high-level of good business and customer practice. Since April 1999, CaseTrust has become the industry standard for quality business and customer practices in different commercial industries, ranging from employment agencies to retailers. CaseTrust has become a mark of assurance for all customers. CASE is committed to champion the cause of the customer (in this case, you, as a student).

The CaseTrust for Education scheme has been customised specifically by CASE for the education industry in Singapore. This scheme will enhance the confidence of international students and their parents in the quality of education in Singapore. It will give them the assurance that CaseTrust for Education has put in place, proper systems and practices, to look after the welfare and interest of international students in Singapore.

This will encourage more international students to consider studying in Singapore.

What is CASETRUST for Education?                                                                                                         

CaseTrust for Education is part of the essential tier under the Education Excellence Framework. The CaseTrust for Education scheme has been customised specifically by CASE for the education industry in Singapore. The scheme will enhance the confidence of international students and their parents in the quality of education in Singapore.

The regulatory framework focuses on building trustworthiness, professionalism, as well as business and academic excellence. It has two tiers — first, an essential or mandatory tier, which requires Private Schools to ensure high quality student welfare practices and standards and gives Private Schools the right to enrol international students. Second, a voluntary tier, tied to privileges, is focused on enhancing business and academic excellence. Caselrust for Education is part of the essential tier under the regulatory framework.

A Private Education Organisation (PEO) that achieves CaseTrust for Education is certified as an organization that possesses the foundation for good quality student welfare practices and standards. The PEO will have the following mechanisms in place:

A.    Clear Fee Policies

Clearly articulated and documented policies on course fees and fee refund. These must be fully disclosed to the student and adhered to according to the terms and conditions of the contract between the PEO and the student.

B.    Well-Defined Student Redress Practices and Systems

A student-redress system with proper and clearly defined dispute resolution mechanisms for the student and the

PEO. This will include mediation by CASE Mediation Centre and recourse to the Small Claims Tribunals and the

Courts, if necessary.

A Student Protection Scheme (see below) to protect the students’ tuition fees in the event the PEO being unable to continue operations for adverse situations such as insolvency and regulatory closure of the PEO.

C.    Disclosure of the PEO’s Commitment to Quality

A self-declaration by the Chief Executive Officer of the PEO clearing spelling out quality criteria such as the school’s student-teacher ratio, the course fees, refund and redress policies, the size and number of the classrooms in the PEO, the number of full-time teachers/lecturers and other relevant information that will be of interest to all students. This information will be made easily available for all (e.g. In the PEO’s website).

D.    Well-Trained Personnel

PEOs must ensure that it has strong academic and administrative staff who are capable of delivering quality educational programmes as well as providing excellent student services.

What is ESCROW?

An Escrow is a form of account held by the third party into which tuition fee is deposited and held in custody by the third party, until specified conditions for its release have been met.

A. Why does the School need a Student Tuition Fee Account (Escrow)?

The Student Protection Scheme (SPS) serves to protect the student’s fees in the event a Private Education Organization (PEO) is unable to continue operations due to insolvency, &/or regulatory closure.  Furthermore it protects the student if the PEO fails to pay penalties or return fees to the student arising from judgments made against it by Singapore Courts.

B. What types of fees will need to be paid to the Student Tuition Fee Account (Escrow)?

Only the tuition fees have to be paid into the Student Tuition Fee Account (Escrow). Tuition fees means the gross payment (before any commission may be deducted) relating to all costs of a course paid by an international student. 

Other fees such as accommodation expenses, examination fees and administrative fees do not have to be paid into the Student Tuition Fee Account (Escrow).

How does ESCROW work?
