Africa-Press – Malawi. <\/strong><\/span>Maranatha Academy has demanded additional fees payments from guardians of students at the school following the 44 percent devaluation of the Malawi Kwacha by the Lazarus Chakwera administration.<\/p>\n

Government devalued the Kwacha last week and Maranatha has moved swiftly to demand more money from parents even though schools will close in just over a month.<\/p>\n

In a letter to parents dated 13 November, Headteacher for the school Aaron Banda said management has decided that parents should pay 10 percent of this term\u2019s boarding and tuition fees.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll parents are therefore advised to pay an addition of K70,000 for this term,\u201d says Banda.<\/p>\n

Banda adds: \u201cThis decision has been made in order to match with market prices of services and commodities for students. Management will communicate revised fees structure for second term in due course.\u201d<\/p>\n

The current school term started on 11 September and is expected to end on 22 December. During the second term which starts on 8 January, many schools in Malawi are expected to raise fees.<\/p>\n
