How much school fees can be considered too much for you to pay for your ward/child?I had the opportunity to be at a venue for common entrance recently.The interesting thing is though the amount charged is in the region of half a million naira per term.The interesting part is that some parents think it is cheap and very affordable.So will you be willing to set a limit to what you are willing to pay as schools fees or is there no limit?

Good question. I feel, when it is not affordable by the middle-class.

when it comes to knowledge and you can ascertain the quality then there is no amount too that is too much.

Its too much when the parent or guardian cannot afford it.

Stop wasting ur money on school fees, if Buhari can become President of Nigeria today who says you can't even without certificate

Wen it is difficult to b paid!!...things bcom expensive to those who can't afford them...

When the total payment for getting a degree certificate amount upto 500k and no job for 10yrs

1. when you stretch yourself to pay it

2. when the money is not worth the value of the education (i cant pay heavily for any Nigerian university be it private of govt)

When you don't have the means to pay. Everyone has it's own budget and limits.

A school fees is considered too much if the students from that school are dullards.

What are they teaching them na? Is it not the same la cram la pour system? It's only the conducive environment that differs.

Whenever ur parents income is lower than d fees!!

depends on the area and ur income

Half a million? If I get that I will stop searching for job and will double that amount in few months






Back to topic: No amount is too much to spend on education. If u can afford it, then go for the best. If u think that education is expensive, price ignorance.

When parents/guardians struggle to pay the fees and child/ward is sent away from school for defaulting.

When its not affordable by an average man

when it becomes too much is when the child i so unserious with education

When you pay almost half of your income on school fee

Pikin wey go beta go beta na just time....if you think education is expensive try ignorance

When it consumes more than 25% of your salary

A school fee is said to be high when and of this following happens:
1: you pay for a poor academic standard of the school.
2: the school doesn't have facilities yet they demand money for thses facilities.
3: when you pay so much and the school still go on strike.
4: when the school still fail plenty student, and make most of them graduate with 3rd class.

A man wiser than myself told me life is in stages and men are in sizes,

Know ur stage and size, put ur kids in school u can afford without staring at the bottom

Finally, choose schools for ur kids by how good they are not how expensive

It depends on the value of academic services that is rendered in each school.

what is this one saying?

When is school fees regarded as too much?

Firstly, there are levels to things so so long as you can pay for it, it's affordable.

Otherwise, education is priceless really. There's always something more to offer.

Hmm. This is a subjective question and depends on your spending power. The main thing is to have a minimum benchmark of quality education and continuously monitor the standard.
