Q: How much does each student need to pay?

Q: Are lower secondary school students eligible for AEMS?
No. AEMs are offered to upper secondary students from secondary 3 to 5 only.
Q: What is the minimum and maximum number of students required for each module?
As a general guideline, we typically run a module with a class size of approximately 15 to 25 students.

Q: Are there lab sessions for the Stem Cell and Tissue Culture AEM?
No, there are no lab sessions for this module. We do have ‘dry lab’ activities in the module, where students will have a chance to practice observation skills and have some different kind of ‘hands on’ activities.
Q: Will students be bored during this AEM if there are no lab sessions?
Our AEM is carried out using a problem-based learning approach, and is in itself very ‘hands on’ with no passive learning designed into it. All our lessons are student-centered, and have an element of a ‘science practical’ in them as they are.
