Private schools should comply with the rules!

All private schools have been told to submit their fees structures for 2016 for review, according to the Education Commissioner, Bhalausesa Eustela.

In 2002, the government initiated free primary school education and with effect from January 2016, secondary school annual fees will be scrapped off.

The purpose of this implementation is to give a chance to all students to access education and this is one of the biggest problem in many African countries.
