Education Department urges complaints over private school book fees
Several private schools have imposed fees for textbooks separate from the basic tuition fees, aiming to ensure the availability of books before the start of the school year. The Ministry of Education and Consumer Protection confirmed that there are regulations in place to prevent the linking of fee payments to the non-delivery of books, and mechanisms have been allocated for complaints in case of unauthorized increases. With rising printing and shipping costs, some schools have justified charging these fees due to transportation and printing expenses, with the possibility of adjusting them if prices return to normal. Imposing fees on textbooks places a financial burden on families, especially amid increasing financial pressures, highlighting the need for schools to review their policies to avoid losing students at the beginning of the school year.
