Protecting education against commercialization 2015, para. 85
Párrafo- Paragraph text
- Singapore is an especially noteworthy example of how States can effectively regulate private education providers with sanctions in cases of abusive practices. According to the country's Private Education Act, private educational establishments must be registered and abide by very strict quality standards and norms. They can be refused permission to operate if the private education institution is not in the public interest. The Act establishes duties and management accountabilities. It provides that "any registered private education institution which contravenes any requirement or restriction imposed … shall be guilty of an offence" and makes acting "fraudulently or dishonestly" or "misleading" the public punishable by law. The Act contains comprehensive provisions on inspection, enforcement and offences, as well as a detailed section on offences by corporate bodies, including unincorporated associations that, when found guilty of an offence, shall be liable to be prosecuted and punished accordingly.
