He identified that transportation costs had soared, cost of goods and services had increased, saying schools were forced to reassess their budget allocations.
He added that the government should provide the following palliatives, “Provide school buses on lease agreement models, sponsor state and private teachers training on a termly basis, education grants for school teachers and administration, open education banks to grant loans to teachers, school owners and parents at single digit and approve tax holiday for teachers and schools.”
Also speaking, renowned economist, Mr Bismarck Rewane, suggested that investment should be made on teachers’ training. “Schools should request for educational subsidies, request for a tax holiday, reduce the number of physical classes, avoid tuition fees increase as it may face a backlash. “Running of school must have commercial and non-commercial considerations, basic education is compulsory but tertiary education is elitist. The government owes the people to provide basic education, and wage review is inevitable,” he said.All rights reserved.

As a matter of fact, I believe that their call for protest against the removal of subsidy was hypocritical considering the fact that they even supported and campaigned for a Presidential candidate who advocated for subsidy removal during electioneering campaign. It only shows that the NLC is not committed to principle and that they are only being a toothless bulldog that they have been as a result of their excessive romance with the ruling elites.
