Durban - Parents at public and private school are forking out more in fees, despite spending less time in the classroom.
Schools in KwaZulu-Natal contacted by the Sunday Tribune have increased their fees between 2% and 7%.
Northlands Girls’ High School in Durban North was the only school surveyed whose fees remained unchanged from last year, with Grade 8s paying R44780 and grades 9 to 12 R42536.
Theven Reddy, principal of Northlands said 2020 was a difficult year for parents, and a decision was, therefore, taken to offer parents a reprieve and not increase school fees.

Only a third of senior high-school students enjoyed their learning in last year s Covid-disrupted year, new research shows. The Education Review Office (ERO) surveyed students at 67 schools nationally just after Auckland s August lockdown and found that 65 per cent of primary school students in Years 4 to 8 agreed that I am enjoying my learning .
But the numbers enjoying my learning dropped to just 39 per cent in the first two years at high school, Years 9 and 10, and 33 per cent in Years 11 to 13.
