*Schools Push For Massive Fees Hikes* *Follow Pindula on WhatsApp for daily new updates* https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va84dngJP21B2nWeyM3v?mt Some schools are proposing huge increases in school fees with many public schools charging as much as $35 000 for boarding, while day schools are looking at pegging levies from $1 000 to $7 000 per term, depending on level and type of school. The proposed school fees increases come when exchange rates and prices have been stable since the end of June following the introduction of foreign exchange auctions. ---------- Pindula is best experienced with the Android App. *Download APK here:* https://zero.pindula.co.zw/media/apps/apks/pindula23.apk _On Econet, Pindula does NOT use your data_ ---------- The proposed fees increases are premised on the fact that most fees and levies were set in the first term when inflation was still galloping and when schools were closed in March, had not been adjusted and moreover, shops have largely ignored the official exchange rate of US$1: ZWL$81. National Association of Secondary Heads president Arthur Maposa said there is a strong case for schools to increase fees to remain viable but the hikes should be reasonable. Meanwhile, Primary and Secondary Education Minister Cain Mathema last week said schools cannot increase fees without following laid down procedures. Reports indicate that a number of schools have already submitted applications and should receive authority from provincial education directors soon. *More: The Herald* itel A50 now available on Pindula at $84 64GB storage, 2GB RAM. _ideal for light usage_ _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
