FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Should a fee-refund policy be in writing?
Yes — set the refund policy and its conditions out clearly in the enrolment contract to avoid disputes and prove the parent's knowledge.
How should students' data be handled?
In the narrowest scope necessary and on a clear lawful basis, with controls on access and sharing under the Personal Data Protection Law.
Who owns content a teacher creates?
The employment contract and the institution's policy decide. State expressly who owns teaching material produced during employment.
