The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) has warned private school owners and public school heads against collecting third term fees. Erring school owners and heads would be sanctioned.
Chairman, FCT Secondary Education Board (SEB) Yahaya Mohammed stated this during inspection of schools yesterday for the 2020/2021 Academic session, after seven months of closure occasioned by the COVID-19 pandemic.
He said the “FCT Administration is very emphatic that this is first term resumption. So, no school, either Private or public, should collect third term fees. Those that violate the rules will certainly face sanction. In our last meeting with the school management officials, National Association of Proprietors of Private Schools (NAPPS) were in attendance and had expressed the willingness to comply with the laid down rules and regulations by FCT Administration.”
