Hike in Private School Fees Forces Parents to Contemplate Withdrawing Their Kids
Legit.ng investigation has shown that many parents are contemplating withdrawing their kids from private schools to taking the public school option because of excessive increases in tuition fees.
Many parents who spoke with Legit.ng claim that the schools have resorted to hiking school fees payable for each student at the resumption of every term. This trend, the parents lament they can no longer tolerate, given the harsh economic realities in Nigeria.
Some of the parents claim that in some cases, the increment is as much as 20% from the last payment which they consider an insensitive move by the schools' management.
The school proprietors on their part insist that inflation in the country is a major reason for the increment. One proprietor told Legit.ng that adequate facilities, salaries of staff, and fueling of generators are a few of the things that the management needs to make adequate provisions for.
