20 Percent School Tuition Hike
The non-stop falling of the economy creates a gloomy atmosphere, which affects a lot of sectors not just in a single nation yet the cramp is felt globally. A lot of industry had been panicking on what is going to be the future when everything seemed so down? Well, the global crisis that is currently crushing everyone’s pocket will continuously rules and parents should get prepared as school tuition fees will have to have a 20 percent tuition hike next year.
Several bodies on education had felt the impact of the lowering economy. Most schools were not able to handle the rapid increase of product prices in the market which is also affecting the way schools provide the appropriate education for students specially when it deals with school facilities and books as well.
Paul Colditz, the CEO of the Federation of Governing Bodies of South African Schools (Fedsas), said that the average increase for the next year is between 5 to 10 percent but there are some African schools that will have to get a higher increase than the average which will take for about 20 percent.
Bandwag High in Uitenhage will also be having a 16 percent more increase next year as Principal Wilhelm Meyer had said.
Reviewers said that the most schools that will be affected are those with boarding houses as to support the needs including food and shelter of the students. It is really hard and a lot of boarding schools choose to close because they can’t support anymore the needs of their students.
Some changes of the curriculum is also the reason why tuition should increase and the fact that school expenses like water and electricity had increased, schools got no choice but to increase tuition as well. However, some schools understand the situation of parents in shouldering the burden of big tuition fees and gives the assurance that their school tuition will not rise next year.
