Paying of school fees
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 27 - 04 - 2016

THE issue of rising private schools fees is still being debated between school owners and the parents of students, especially in the absence of school ratings or standardized indicators that determine the actual educational value of a seat at the civil school.
I have written considerably, and often, for years criticizing some private schools that raise their fees without the return of education equivalent to such increases or educational classification that instructs parents of students to learn and distinguish levels of schools, But that does not mean that I condone or accept the failure of some parents to pay the fees they have accepted to pay in the first place.
Private schools are not for free and have financial obligations. Whoever accepts the school terms and the fees has to pay the dues, or not enroll their children in the school.
In contrast, the Ministry of Education must take quick action to classify schools to adjust the chaos of the prices that are not based in most schools on any educational standards.
This procedure is in favor of the private schools that suffer from mixing some bad schools with good ones due to greedy investors who do not have any educational vision.
Waiting for the results of the Commission to evaluate education, the ministry's prior approval to increase the fees and to set two years in advance to ask for the increase is not enough.
It is closer to a routine procedure that does not address the root of the problem: the absence of an educational rating system.
