Georgetown : The Education Ministry has received reports that some schools are charging exorbitant fees for students’ registration and in light of this situation, the Ministry is advising parents that only the Parent Teacher Association (PTA) has the authority to approve and collect monies from parents.
Additionally, before any money can be collected one third of the PTA’s complement has to give approval.
The Ministry of Education sends a strong message to head-teachers that no child must be debarred from school for non-payment of these fees.
In a circular issued last year to all senior education managers and head-teachers of all public schools, including the practical instruction centres, it was emphasised that children have a right to school without any preconditions.
