Umar stated that the goal of the new registration is to guarantee the accessibility of a database for monitoring. He mentioned that parents had been warned not to pay fee increases at any of the schools.
“The new registration’s main goal is to ensure that we have an accurate database for the government’s policy and monitoring, to sanitise the sector,” he continued. Everything we are doing to support the functioning of private schools in the state complies with the law passed in May 2014.
“Fee increases have been suspended for the time being, therefore parents should notify any schools asking for them. No school will ever be permitted to unilaterally raise tuition again.
He said that since the operators are not nonprofit organisations, the state government will also make sure that parents pay their children’s tuition at the same time. He added that operators of private schools who fail to submit an application by the deadline will face sanctions if it is discovered that they are running their schools.
