Government says it is pondering a move to harmonize secondary
school fees to help pupils attain secondary education without
difficulties.
Deputy Minister in the Ministry of Education, Science,Vocational
Training and Early Education Sydney Mushanga said in an interview
with ZNBC in Central
province that there was no way schools in the same area would have
different school fees.
“You will find schools are in the same area but have different schools,
how do they arrive at those fees?” he said.
Mr Mushanga said that the money collected was not even used in a
proper manner as there were questions as regards to the use of the pupils
user fees.
“Government wants pupils to learn without difficulties in paying user
fees, hence my able minister Dr Honorable Micheal Kaingu and I are
looking at possibilities of harmonizing the fees. They get the money but
we don’t know what exactly they do with it,” he said.
The deputy minister has also ordered that no pupils should be sent back
home for not paying school fees. LT
