Parents at Nigerian college kick as PTA ‘imposes’ N50,000 hostel fee
Federal Science and Technical College, Yaba
”I am a parent in the school, I was not invited to any PTA meeting where such a decision was taken,” said Okechukwu Nwanguma, one of the aggrieved parents.The school’s 2019/2020 academic calendar begins on September 15. Another couple, who came to the PTA building to get the account details where the money would be paid, said they were not aware of the meeting where the fee was agreed on.
”Imagine those of us that have children in SS3. Even after building the hostel, not all students will get accommodation to stay in it, so why impose the fee on us? The reduction was part of “the new measures aimed at arresting the shocking trend where development levies imposed on parents by PTAs are becoming higher than the school fees charged by the government which established the Unity schools.
