Global Indian International School is registered as a Private Education Institute by the Committee for Private Education.
Global Indian International School | CPE Reg No: 200912349N | Validity 25/02/2023 to 24/02/2027 Committee for Private Education (CPE) is part of Skills Future Singapore (SSG) Edutrust Cert No: EDU-2-2045 | Validity 10/12/2020 to 09/12/2024
EduTrust is a voluntary certification scheme awarded to PEIs who have achieved higher standards in key areas of management and the provision of educational services. Only those PEIs which are EduTrust-certified can enrol international students who require Student Passes from the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA).
Global Indian International School (GIIS) has met all compliance requirements and has been awarded a 4-year EduTrust certification by CPE.
The Student Contract is a critical document that governs the relationship between the PEI, i.e. GIIS (in this case) and the student. Prospective studentslooking for admission at the best international school in Singapore, should therefore, understand and agree to the terms and conditions stated in the contract before signing it. It needs to be signed before the course fee is paid.
The Student Contract contains information on the course structure and details of course fees, refund policy, fee protection scheme, medical insurance scheme and additional information relating to the governing law and dispute resolution.
In compliance with the requirements of the CPE, GIIS is required to purchase insurance on behalf of its students to protect student fees. Fee Protection Scheme (FPS) is a mandatory regulatory requirement.
We have appointed Lonpac Insurance Bhd as the fee insurance provider for its students.
Course Fees stipulated in Schedule 2.1 in Standard PEI-Student Contract of GIIS are insured. It refers to all fees paid by the Students to be enrolled in a private education institution, excluding the course application/registration fee, miscellaneous fees (ad-hoc, non-compulsory and non-standard fee paid only when necessary or where applicable) and GST. The FPS serves to protect students' fees in the event that a Private Education Institute (PEI) is unable to continue operations due to insolvency and/or regulatory closure. In addition, the FPS protects the student if the PEI fails to pay penalties or to return fees to students arising from judgments made against it by the Singapore Courts. Within seven days of the receipt of the school fees, GIIS will purchase the FPS insurance to protect the fees, and the coverage takes effect from the day of school fee payment is made.
Students will receive a soft copy of the Certificate of Insurance via email from the insurance provider and a hardcopy of the Certificate from GIIS, if requested. In the event of not receiving the COI, please contact admissions team at admissions.sg@globalindianschool.org
