The Ministry of Education (MOE) governs K-12 academic schools and universities. The Technical and Vocational Training Corporation (TVTC) governs skills training, vocational centers, and language institutes.

For K-12 Schools: Yes, generally you need a purpose-built facility that meets safety standards. For Training Centers: You can often lease commercial office space provided it meets the minimum square footage and safety requirements.

Yes, but you need a license from the National Center for E-Learning (NCEL). If you are a training center offering online classes, you need both TVTC and NCEL approvals.
