CAN’T AFFORD SCHOOL FEES?<br />
THE COST OF<br />
EDUCATION<br />
If you have kids at school but are struggling to make<br />
ends meet you have several options including no fee<br />
schools and fee exemptions.<br />
According to the SA Schools Act, public schools must raise some of<br />
their own money by charging fees and doing fundraising. Parents can<br />
also voluntarily offer schools services or funds.<br />
Public schools do get government funding and then on top of that<br />
they also charge fees. These school fees don’t include extra fees like<br />
registration or administration charges.<br />
School fees are charged by schools to parents (not the kids). This<br />
is important for a variety of reasons as you will see below. And<br />
interestingly, schools can’t charge for extra subjects and orphans don’t<br />
have to pay school fees.
