The Minister of Education, Malam Adamu Adamu, has cancelled development
and Parents-Teachers Association (PTA) fees in federal government
colleges.
The minister reportedly approved the cancellation following
complaints by parents about an increase in school fees from N20, 000 to
N75, 000.
It was gathered that henceforth, all development projects in schools
would be done with the approval of the ministry, while PTA fees must not
exceed N5,000.
Meanwhile, the Ministry’s Permanent Secretary, Dr Folashade
Yemi-Esan, yesterday at the launch of the National Education Quality
Assurance Handbook for basic secondary education in Abuja said there was
a small increase in boarding fees.
She explained that the increase was due to economic situation and
would enable proper upkeep of boarding facilities and provide top
quality meals.
