I had an outstanding balance of N7, 000 to pay for the second term school fees for my son before reopening of schools for the third term after the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. The school fees for the third term is N20, 000; it was supposed to be N28, 000, but parents pleaded because of the lockdown and so it was reduced to N20, 000.
“Now that schools have reopened for the first term in the second wave of the pandemic, the school has refused to re-enroll him as it is asking us to pay the outstanding school fees. But we don’t have money now because I lost my job in 2020 owing to the COVID-19 lockdown,” a parent, Mr Anthony Okede, told Nigerian Tribune when asked why his child was not in school.
