Salam
this year has seen yet another raise in school fees in the Al-Muntazir schools. My neice is entering grade 1 this year and the parents have to pay Tshs. 1.8 million for entrance & fees for the year. 1.8 million!! Grade 1?!! Is this really justifiable? Can our community members afford these fees? Imagine if primary school fees are such, what about secondary?
Ok you will say that there is instalment plan for paying the fees. According to what I know the deadline to pay the fees fully in instalment is May. That gives you 5 months only!
Most of our community children go to Our school and you would say that most of the community is middle class. Can we really afford this? Is it even fair? I am sure the cost of running the schools are quite high but surely the number of pupils attending our schools are quite good too since children outside our community also attend them. So won't they be able to cover the expenses in lesser fees? Are we tryingto make super profits out of running education institutes in the name of Al-Mahdi (ATFS)?
