What education or training is this pathway designed for?

The charter’s Study Permit category requires an admission letter and education evidence. Its third unlabelled fee block, aligned by position with Study Permit, lists Pre-school M500, Primary M1,000 and Secondary M1,500. This suggests school-level study in that fee block; the chart does not establish that all other education is excluded.
