Doha: Parents have called on the Ministry of Education and Higher Education (MoEHE) to defer fees hike in private schools during COVID-19. Many are facing difficult financial times due to the pandemic.
Parents are reacting to the Ministry’s announcement last month to open applications from private schools to increase fees.
A private school has said that it applied for a fee hike last month through the Ministry’s online system.
Parents stress it would be difficult for many of them to afford a new increase in fees because of the financial constraints resulting from the pandemic.
