Schools threaten parents over payments
The article reveals a significant increase in private school tuition fees in Lebanon for the 2026/2027 academic year, with hikes ranging from 15% to 30% without supervision or clear justifications, despite the worsening economic and living conditions of Lebanese families. Parents complain of being subjected to extortion by schools, which impose payment of fees before issuing transfer certificates to other schools and securing their rights and the rights of students. Parent committees have called for controlling these increases and engaging in early dialogue among all parties, emphasizing the importance of paying attention to school budgets and rationalizing costs amid the difficult economic circumstances. There are no effective measures from the Ministry of Education to curb the rise in tuition fees or to guarantee students’ rights to transfer, which exacerbates families' suffering and threatens the continuity of education.
