Why do parents have to pay a school registration fee of $6000?

Dear Editor,

I am a concerned parent, having a child who is entering West Ruimveldt Primary school. I have a question for the Ministry of Education: Why must parents be burdened with a high registration fee of $6000?

I am thinking about parents who have more than one child entering a new school; what will they do, especially single parents who only have one income?

The Minister of Education is pressuring parents; not all parents have high earnings so how will they afford this? I am sure there are other parents with the same concern.

Where is our government school future going? Will the Ministry of Education please look into this matter urgently.

Yours faithfully,

(Name and address provided)

Editor’s note

We are sending a copy of this letter to Chief Education Officer Olato Sam for any comment he might wish to make.

The death of the working class looms over Guyana. Taxes and fees, taxes and fees! The new mantra of the coalition government.

The PNC are slowly killing the Guyanese people. How much are they paying for the newly established Ministry of Events planning? Ridiculous!
