Compulsory Education Act (CAP 51)

The two key objectives of CE are to give our children:

• A common core of knowledge which will provide a strong foundation for further education and training; and

• A common educational experience which will help to build national identity and cohesion.


According to the Compulsory Education Act (Cap 51), where a child fails to attend regularly as a pupil at a national primary school or a designated school/be home-schooled (where exemption is granted), the parent/guardian of the child shall be guilty of an offence. The penalties provided in the Act for a person convicted for the offence are a fine not exceeding $5,000, or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 12 months, or to both.
