[quote=\"phtthp\"]Path light school fees is $500 per month

Yup, normal mainstream school fee cost abt $10 or less per month. Cos our kids are special needs, we need to pay more just for them to go into special school.

Why do i feel like I am being penalized for having a special needs kid. :imdrowning:

Actually it's because they are under MCYS or I dunno what is the new ministry called whereas mainstream schools are under MOE. They have completely different budget. MOE has a lot of money to spend so they can pay for a lot of things. Special needs schools depends on mainly donors and some help from mcys. That is why u need to pay more for school fees. And very often, they also get run down sch buildings that have been vacated by MOE schools. pathlight is e only one I think that gets a new building.[/quote]Allow my 5 cents worth of thoughts here. If the budget comes from MOE for those special needs edu and those nursery and kindergarten edu, it will be mandatory for govt to support those expenses as the basic rights for everyone in Singapore is not to be deprived of an education. Classifying pathlight, autism centers and other educational services into MCYS will not warrant such obligation of subsidies. As said, those are not considered \"basic rights to schooling\". So, such segregation of \"basic education\" and rights to it do not exist in other countries.

Thanks.
