Some schools have hiked tuition fees while others demand an additional 40 per cent on fees when payment is done through EcoCash and swipe. ---------- *Latest itel S24 now available on Pindula* $124 Cash on Delivery in Harare & Bulawayo. WhatsApp: 0️⃣7️⃣8️⃣3️⃣ 4️⃣5️⃣0️⃣ 7️⃣9️⃣3️⃣ ---------- Churchill Boys’ High in Harare is reported to be charging groceries from parents. In a letter written to parents by the school head, the school is asking for 10kg rice, 10kg mealie meal, 5kg spaghetti, 4kg sugar, 2-litres cooking oil, a case of baked beans, cornflakes, 1-litre peanut butter, 1-litre jam and 1-litre dishwasher. Acting Secretary for Primary and Secondary Education, Peter Muzavazi, said that schools should be realistic on their demands. He said: > The expectation is that schools should be realistic with the situation and keep the fees as affordable as possible and at the same time we need a situation whereby we work with parents so that we hear and can address their grievances because we do not want a situation where there are strikes. Meanwhile, the price of exercise books has been increased and prices, in general, have been hiked over the past week. *More: The Herald* _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
