"Charterhouse UK charges £47,535 per year - that is over N60 million. Eton and other top prestigious independent schools charge over £50,000 per annum. These schools have been around. My cousins went to Stonyhurst. Fees are currently £42,000 per year! Charterhouse is over 400 years old, and Eton is over 500 years old, and these institutions have trained UK's Royals, Prime Ministers and other leading professionals in their chosen careers."
