Parliament To Discuss High Fees In Private Schools

A number of parliamentarians have asked for setting aside two hours in a parliamentary session to discuss the exorbitant fees charged by many private schools in the country.

The parliamentarians lamented that some schools had turned education into a business at the expense of students by financially overburdening their parents. The lawmakers are apparently waiting for the new government to be announced in order to address their comments to the new education minister.

The MPs behind this proposal highlighted that the current situation has a negative impact on both Kuwaitis and expats, as some private schools used indirect means to arbitrarily increase tuition fees, despite the Education Ministry clearly stipulating limits to fee hikes.

The lawmakers are understood to have drafted a number of recommendations to remedy this situation.
