Continuity of Education Allowance (Guardians) - If you elect to place your child(ren) in the care of a guardian so that they may attend a particular day school continuously while you are assigned elsewhere, you may be eligible for CEA(Guardians). This contributes towards some of the additional costs of your child living away from your family home such as postage, telephone calls and stationery. The allowance is not intended to cover school fees. CEA(Guardians) is paid monthly in arrears via salary.
Continuity of Education Allowance (Day) (CEA(Day)) - If you are reassigned close to the school where your child(ren) are already boarding, they may become day pupils at the same school. This applies if you have received CEA for at least 3 consecutive academic terms for that child at that school. Payment of CEA(Day) in these circumstances is instead of CEA. CEA(Day) must be applied for each term and is paid via salary.
