Fix flaws in new rules to better serve education sector

The government must better engage stakeholders to balance oversight and business viability.

The Cabinet recently approved two sets of regulations for the education sector: the Educational Consultancy, Language and Preparation Classes Regulations 2026 and the Educational Programmes under Foreign University Affiliation Regulations 2026. This move marks the first time that the government has introduced a comprehensive legal framework for these sectors, previously governed by loose guidelines.
