The Special Assistance Plan (SAP) is a programme aimed to encourage bilingualism (Chinese and English) in schools. Schools are given additional funding to design additional programmes catered to promoting bilingualism and bicultural understanding, and offer mother-tongue related subjects (i.e. lessons on Appreciation of Chinese Culture). Only a few schools are designated as SAP schools, and SAP schools only offer mother tongue lessons in Mandarin Chinese.

Welfare-centric tuition centres are tuition centres that offer welfare for their students, often as motivators during examination seasons or as rewards for academic achievement. Examples of these welfare incentives range from bubble tea treats, to cohesion trips to theme parks.

The Direct School Admission scheme (DSA) is a form of aptitude-based admissions for primary schoolers entering secondary schools, which are processed before PSLE occurs. Primary schoolers who are admitted to a secondary school through DSA are not allowed to transfer to another secondary school, or select a different secondary school after receiving their PSLE results.
