Lagos State Government has insisted that the increase in boarding fees in its model colleges is inevitable.
It claimed that the hike is to ensure better welfare of the students.
Mr Ganiu Lawal, the Deputy Director, Public Affairs, Ministry of Basic and Secondary Education, made this known in a statement on Monday.
According to Lawal, the N35,000 boarding fees which were being paid since 2021, is not realistic in 2024.
The Lagos State Government last week, approved the upward review of boarding fees to N100,000 ahead of the 2024/2025 session, which begins September 15, 2024.
“The Ministry is aware of dissenting views by some parents to the inevitable increase in boarding fees in our model colleges.
“This was not an easy decision, but the welfare of the children is a priority for the Ministry of Basic and Secondary Education and the Lagos State Government.
“Since enrolment of a child into a boarding school is an individual choice for every parent, they are expected to pay boarding fees.
“The boarding fee is paid every term and it is used basically for feeding, janitorial and other miscellaneous costs related to keeping them in the hostels per term,” Lawal said.
