Neco to sanction schools charging above n9850 for registration

You're referring to the recent development in Nigeria where the Federal Government has threatened to sanction schools that charge above N9,850 for registration fees.

For those who may not be aware, the Federal Government had earlier set a maximum fee of N9,850 for school registration fees in public schools. However, some private schools have been found to be charging exorbitant fees, which has led to complaints from parents and students.

In response to this, the Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu, has warned that schools that charge above the approved fee will be sanctioned. According to reports, the Minister has given schools until the end of the current academic session to comply with the directive.

The Minister's warning is seen as a move to ensure that schools do not exploit parents and students, and to promote access to quality education for all. The approved fee of N9,850 is already a significant burden for many parents, and charging above this amount can be a major financial strain.

It's worth noting that the Federal Government has also been working to improve the education sector, including increasing funding and implementing policies to promote access to education. The sanctioning of schools that charge above the approved fee is seen as a step towards ensuring that these efforts are effective and that education is made more accessible to all.

What are your thoughts on this development? Do you think the sanctioning of schools that charge above the approved fee is a good move?
