In a decision issued recently, Al-Essa explained the fees in private schools will be increased by six percent within two academic years – three percent in 2016/2017 and another three percent in 2017/2018.

After these two school years, the ministry will decide whether to suspend, cancel or increase the percentage, he added.

    Dear Sirs,

    My child is attending KES. At his year the costs additional to fee have increased substantially. There are weekly offers of book sales, authors visits. Than it is mandatory to buy a specific tablet – Chromebook for 130 KD. The option of downloading programs to your own is not given. I am wondering if anybody from MOE is monitoring this, or we just have to keep low profile?
