Administrative Circular No. 12A (Rev. 3) entitled "Education fees", approved by the Director-General following recommendation by the Standing Concertation Committee after its meeting on 1 June, thereafter completed by written procedure on 16 June and finalised on 24 August 2017, will be available on 1 September 2017 via the following link: AC No. 12A.

This revision cancels and replaces Administrative Circular No. 12A (Rev. 2) also entitled "Education fees", of August 2013. It will enter into force on 1 September 2017.

Modifications have been introduced to this circular to streamline, and render more transparent, the administration of education-related fees. The main changes provide for reimbursement in the form of a lump sum for meals and school transport expenses during the school year.

Please also note that, henceforth, reimbursement claims should be made via EDH by the beneficiary and the supporting documents may be scanned and attached to the EDH claim. It will no longer be necessary to submit the original invoices to HR Department, however proof of payment may be requested by FAP Department in their processing of the claim.

Staff members concerned by this circular are invited to consult the CERN Admin e-Guide for further details concerning the new procedure and the EDH document. HR Department also remains available to answer any questions via the following address: schoolfees.service@cern.ch.
