Decision on project fees this week

Schools around the country will know tomorrow whether or not to collect project fees from students.

Schools are currently not allowed to collect any project fees since the direction was given last week.

For parents who have already paid project fees levied, schools were advised to hold onto the fees pending Cabinet's decision.

Department acting secretary Dr Uke Kombra confirmed that Cabinet has discussed the matter and will make an announcement Monday.

He urged boards of governors to comply with the instruction.

The decision stems from reports of gross abuse of these fees by schools.
