“For the sake of clarity, I confirm that schools will open on Tuesday the 8 January 2013, as originally advised by the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry early this year.”
Meanwhile, Minister Coltart warned school authorities against hiking fees without permission from parents and the Ministry.
“Schools should follow the existing legal procedure pertaining to the increase of fees. Failure to comply with the legal procedures will result in the Ministry taking action against the school.
“Parents should also report to the Ministry if a school increases fees without consulting them. School heads must liaise with parents on their plans to increase fees,” Minister Coltart said.
He urged parents to consult their relevant Provincial Education Directors if they have complaints about any school’s conduct.
