Again, palpable anxiety has gripped parents and guardians over high school fees..
Under the new school fees regime, they will be expected to pay more for the education of their children and wards in private primary and secondary schools across the country.
This is as proprietors and owners of private schools are set for another regime of high school fees, adjustment, or upward review of their current school fees, ahead of school reopening for the terms .
They, however, attributed their action to what they described as persistent high cost of living, rising cost of school materials, food items, and other school needs resulting from harsh economic situations in the country, due to high inflation and exchange rate.
But, piqued by the development, parents and stakeholders have criticised the school owners, saying any form of new school fees regime, which has become a yearly trend in the nationās education system, would further escalate their financial problems.
