What you need to know:

Each private school has been charging any amount of tuition fee and other contributions without justifiable grounds. Private schools fall into two categories viz those owned by religious institutions and those owned by individual persons. Some of these schools do charge high fees plus other contributions to compensate the cost of buildings, laboratories and so on. Unfortunately, the fees charged do not reflect the quality of both education and other services provided by such schools.
