School fees for international and permanent resident students in
both government and government-aided schools will increase from
January 2016, said the Ministry
of Education (MOE) in a statement on Wednesday.
The quantum of increase for international students will be between
$20 to $150 each month and is part of the ministry’s periodic

Meanwhile, school fees for permanent resident students will
increase by $20 to $60 each month. Fees for Singaporean
students and standard miscellaneous fees remain

for PR students increased by $50 - $80 per month while fees for
international students went up by $115-$250.
