school fess



Schools are no where without students don't you think? Without students there wouldn't be teachers and without teachers there wouldn't be school administrators.

So why are they sending students home if their fees have not been fully paid? Haven't they considered Fiji's economic problems or the pay cut of certain parents? or more importantly some students might have parents who are no longer employed due to the retirement age policy.

Well, is it not sad to see students being told not to sit for their exams just because their school fees were not paid? I had a cousin who came home all upset because her mum had not paid half of her fees. When her mum had called the school the principal said that she had to pay the full amount to sit for her exam. Being a retired nurse just at the age of 56 she had to get some loan to pay her daughters fees.

The Minister of Education Filipe Bole has warned schools not to send students home when they have not paid their fees. He has asked school administrators to be realistic with their demands from parents.

  1. isa bunti, if a school is to function it needs financial credit! how the hell do one expect a school to hire teachers, purchase school stuff etc. when there is no more money!! it is a common norm that school fees are a major financial credit to a schools existence!
