Posted on 22. Oct, 2009 by admin in Education

Ministry of Education has said that no decision has been made yet about the amount of fee to be taken from new entrants to Ghiyaazudheen School.

Speaking at a press conference held yesterday, Deputy Minister of Education Dr Abdullah Nazir said that even though the new management of the school has been handed over to Shri Educare, no fee will be taken from students who are studying now till they finish 7th grade. Dr Nazir said that fee will be taken from new entrants to the school and also from students of grade 8. He said that a fee of USD 200 has been only proposed by the Shri Educare and that this decision was not final yet. He said that Education Ministry is already in talks with them to reduce this proposed fee.

He also denied the rumor that the school is being sold and clarified that under a management contract both the government and the private party will run the school.

Dr Nizar also appealed to the public to stop protesting outside the Education ministers residence as there were students living in that premise who were preparing for O’level exams. Parents of Ghiyaazudheen School had protested outside the residence of Education Minster Dr Musthafa Luthfee for the past four days following the announcement that an annual fee would be taken from new entrants to Ghiyaazudheen School.
