Parents in Metn schools oppose fee hikes
The Parents' Committee Union in Catholic and private schools in Metn has rejected any increases in school tuition fees, affirming that setting and adjusting tuition fees is subject to the applicable Lebanese laws, particularly Laws No. 12/2024 and 515/96 and their amendments. They clarified that the school administration is obligated to prepare the budget and submit it during January with the financial committee’s signature, and that the first installment of the fee should not exceed 30% of the previous year's annual fee, with no excuse justifying exceeding this limit. They called for full transparency in preparing budgets and for no additional charges to be imposed before completing the legal procedures, emphasizing the rights of parents and students, and stating that any violation of the law is considered illegal. They also stressed the importance of respecting the authority of the parents’ committees and achieving a balance between the rights of schools and parents to ensure the continuity of educational institutions.
