In a letter addressed to all boarding school principals, Olufemi Asaolu, Director of Basic Education Services at the Lagos State Ministry of Basic and Secondary Education, stated, “I have the directive of the Honourable Commissioner to inform all Public Boarding House schools in Lagos State that the State Government has approved the review of the Boarding fee payable in all Public Boarding House schools in Lagos State. The newly approved fee is N100,000 Only.”
The letter, titled “Review of Boarding Fees in All Public Secondary Schools in Lagos State for 2024/2025 Session,” also emphasized that no additional fees should be collected by the schools. The resumption date for the new academic session has been set for September 15, 2024.
“I am further directed to inform you that no additional fee of any form should be collected by the schools,” the letter stated. “Kindly note that the resumption date remains 15th September 2024.”
This decision by the Lagos State Government has sparked mixed reactions among parents and stakeholders in the education sector. Some have expressed concern over the affordability of the new fees, while others argue that the increase is necessary to maintain and improve the quality of education and facilities in boarding schools.
The Lagos State Government has not yet provided an official statement regarding the rationale behind the fee hike or any potential measures to assist families who may struggle to meet the increased financial burden.
As the new academic session approaches, parents and guardians of students in Lagos State boarding schools are advised to take note of the revised fees and plan accordingly.
