If your husband earns below 250k per month and your
two children's school fees is about N500k, and he's
paying, you should know he's engaging in officially
"stealing" to meet up. It's time to cut your clothe
according to your resources. Feeding and other
household responsibilities are increasing.

Stop forcing to live at a level you've not attained before you are caught napping.

As your read this, some parents have started
withdrawing their kids from private to public schools,
due to the current economic hardship. Findings indicate
that many of the parents took the decision when they
discovered that the income at their disposal could no
longer meet school fees and other daily needs.


Some proprietors of private schools, who spoke with
Punch, said they were expecting such situation. The
Deputy President, National Association of Proprietors of
Private Schools, Mr. Abayomi Otubela, said one of his
members in Mushin, Lagos, had formally complained
that parents were withdrawing their children in droves,
from her school to the public schools in the area.


A mother of three, Mrs Favour Ukpong, whose child
attends a private school in Fagba area of Lagos, told
Punch that she had withdrawn her daughter from the
school and moved her to a public school.


Ukpong said, “I just realised that I can’t afford the fees
any longer. More so, the proprietors have increased the
fees from N18,000 to N25,000 .
“How much do I make from my business? I don’t make
much. Paying N18,000 was a challenge for me. I took
my time to search for a good public school in my area. I
am happy with my choice.”


Another parent, Mrs Wemimo Abiodun said her child’s
tuition had increased by N10,000, leading to her
decision to withdraw her daughter from a private school
at Ojodu-Berger area of Lagos.

She said, “There are good public schools that have
sound teachers. Many parents get carried away with the
hype that comes with having a child in a private school
.
“I had wanted to withdraw my daughter long time ago.
The tuition was N40,000 and has now increased to
N50,000. My husband can’t afford that, so we have to
adjust immediately.”


Also, a banker, Mr Steve Aliyu, who said he was a victim
of a mass sack in his organisation recently, said he had
withdrawn his four year-old daughter from a private to
a public school.

He said, “I took the decision because I was affected by
the recent retrenchment exercise in one of the new
generation banks, and things have not been easy for me
and my family.”
