Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Federal Capital Territory Administration, FCTA, has denied increasing fees in public boarding schools in the federal capital.<\/p>\n

The Mandate Secretary, Education Secretariat, FCTA, Dr Danlami Hayyo, made the clarification in an interview with newsmen on Thursday in Abuja.<\/p>\n

Some parents claimed that the FCT Administration increased school fees for students in FCT public boarding schools.<\/p>\n

They claimed that the fee was increased from N29,000 and N32,000 to N47,000, a development they claimed had forced some parents to withdraw their children from boarding schools to day schools.<\/p>\n

But denying the claims, Hayyo said, \u201cThis is not true; this is not true.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Minister of FCT, Mr Nyesom Wike, had even approved the increase in the feeding allowances for boarding schools due to the rising cost of food items.<\/p>\n

\u201cLook at the situation, how much is a bag of rice in the last two years and how much is a bag of rice currently? He asked.\u201d<\/p>\n

The mandate secretary also denied the claim that some parents have withdrawn their children from public boarding schools in the FCT.<\/p>\n

He added that FCT public boarding schools are positioned to provide quality education at affordable cost and within the means of parents.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think there is someone that will remove his children or his son from public school as a result of the feeding cost; I doubt much,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He further said that the quality of education in public schools was very encouraging, stressing that the best student in the 2023 West African Examination Council was from a public school.<\/p>\n
