Private school parents fear record tuition hikes
Large increases in private school fees in Lebanon are sparking widespread debate among parents, with some tuition costs expected to exceed $1,000 for the upcoming school year. This places an additional financial burden on families already struggling due to declining purchasing power and rising living costs. Many school administrations justify the increases by citing higher operational costs and increased salaries for teachers, while parents are calling for greater transparency and oversight of these explanations, fearing that such hikes could lead to a significant number of students leaving private education amid the ongoing economic crisis. Parent committees are seeking to hold meetings with school management and the Ministry of Education to establish a framework and proposals to curb fee inflation, amid concerns that these increases could trigger a new social crisis.
