Well, it depends on what is the money for. If it is to pay for coach, then I do not mind paying. I am currently paying for my DD's wushu lessons outsourced to a vendor.

Some schools do request co-payment for CCAs. These are usually for external coaches. Usually these are subsidised in part by the school.

What is the amount?

I am new to this and found it very strange. So children from lower income family would be excluded from such CCA?

I just paid $100 for the 1 CCA for the whole year. At first I was like :!: & . Nothing is free in SG.

I paid $116 for my gal's tapdance costumer. Thats excluding the lessons. Nothing is free. Even excursion need to pay.

That's why the gov gave the kids edu save every year.

But if the child is from financially difficult family, there seems to be a myriad of funding they can request from. Free textbooks, free uniforms, free pc/internet. I was impressed! Perhaps then they may apply for help on such cca?

You paid for the costume but not the CCA itself right ?
