What is Education Insurance and how does it work?

A simple guide for parents thinking about their children's future

If you have ever wondered how to ensure your child can study whatever they choose, this article is for you. No complicated terms. No fine print. Just what you need to know.

Let's start at the beginning: what exactly is it?

VidaSEguros EG's Education Insurance is a endowment insurance: a savings plan that combines two things in one:

In summary: you contribute, the money grows, and your child's future is covered, whatever happens.
How Education Insurance works in 3 steps
1
You choose your premium
Monthly, quarterly, half-yearly or annually. From XAF 20,000/month. You decide how much you can start with today.
2
Your fund grows
Your contributions grow month by month with an additional return. The sooner you start, the more they grow.
3
Future guaranteed
When your child needs the money to study, it is available. Whatever happens.
You contribute. The money grows. Your child's future is covered.

What educational stage does it cover?

One of the main advantages of VidaSEguros EG's Education Insurance is that it is not limited to university. It covers throughout the educational course of your child, from the early years through to higher education.

You can start saving even before your child is born. The sooner, the better.

What's that fund for?

For everything involved in studying at any stage:

Studying in Equatorial Guinea, Cameroon, Spain or any other country has a real cost. Education Insurance is designed to ensure that cost does not catch you by surprise.

How much do I have to pay?

The minimum premium is 20,000 XAF per month. From there, you decide how much you want to contribute according to your circumstances. You can adjust it over time.

What matters is not how much you contribute, but that you start. The sooner you start, the less you need to contribute each month to reach the same goal.
How much do you need according to your child's age?
When you start Time available Monthly commitment
Before or at birth 18 + years Minimum premium (from 20,000 XAF)
8 year old child ~ 10 years Medium premium
13 year old child ~ 5 years Higher premium
