Singaporeans to pay slightly higher polytechnic and ITE Nitec fees for 2022 academic year

SINGAPORE - Tuition fees for Singaporean polytechnic and Institute of Technical Education Nitec students will increase slightly for the 2022 incoming batch, according to the institutions' websites.This is the first rise in fees for Singaporeans studying in polytechnics since 2019, as the past two years' increases affected only foreign students.

New Singaporean students taking the Nitec diploma will have to pay an annual tuition fee of $430, up from $410. A spokesman for the Ministry of Education said the Government provides"substantial" subsidies for polytechnic and ITE education, at about 85 per cent and over 90 per cent respectively, for Singaporean students.

Institutions also provide additional financial support where needed. These help with the payment of tuition fees and to defray costs of living during the duration of study, she said.

😯oh no

Price tag increase + incoming GST increase + annual inflation. MOM and Union better start pushing for better wages and higher annual increments. The general wage workers are getting poorer every year, while consumer prices keep going up.
