In Nigeria, the tradition of exclusive primary education catering to the desires of affluent families has long been established.

However, the unveiling of Charterhouse Lagos, a new primary school targeting children aged five to eight, has stirred up a storm of controversy on social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter).




While Charterhouse School has been a prestigious institution in the UK, the upcoming launch of the school in Lagos promises to offer parents the opportunity to provide their children with a top-tier educational experience, boasting slogans such as “Privilege, Prestige, Presence” and “Inspired by Britain, delivered in Lagos.”

The construction of Charterhouse Lagos in Lekki is still underway, but it’s the exorbitant price tag that has ignited outrage. Prospective pupils must undergo a rigorous application process, including a hefty ₦2 million application fee, which does not even cover tuition costs.

The cost is way exorbitant no matter what.

2 million should be the maximum tuition to pay for any child below 10 years no matter what. Even if the child is the son or daughter of the richest man in Nigeria, paying 40million tuition fee for a child in Nursery or primary or even secondary school is madness raised to the highest level, it's pure extortion, it's a criminal act, Nigerian government through the Universal Basic Education Board should stop them, it is not good for Nigeria.


Government should stop them by all means please

Na this school my pikin dey go.
Dream Big, Think Bigger.

Words like "exorbitant", "costly", "expensive" are all relative terms. Meaning that it depends on the situation and persons involved.
What is expensive for one person may be too cheap to buy for another. What you pay for a pair of shoes might be another person's full wardrobe cost. Your one feeding budget might be another person's annual income.
Asking government to stop the construction of a private school because it's too expensive is a bit of a stretch

42 million for children education is a bit high for me
..
Maybe because I can't afford it, but people saying connection and all..
You think those who pays 2 million for children education are not building connection too....


I sell herbs tho

I don't have strength now to enlighten you.


Basic education is different from luxury fashion wears.


If the 40million per annum tuition fee is true, it is madness to establish such nursery school in Nigeria, that is being insensitive and foolish.

This is the mentality that made Nigeria the corruption and criminality headquarter of the world.


You Nigerians have a very dangerous mentality, no wonder Nigeria has remained where it is for decades

I will use the 42M build my own primary school, enroll my own children and still collect 2m tuition from other pupils in couple of years I will be able to charge way above 50M comfortably

If Money is not the problem why not

Mr holier than thou, you can't decipher between sarcasm and reality, What are your blueprint for a better Nigeria? pls work on your mentality have a nice day.

Since its already has a reputable background in UK, that alone guarantees it a lot of enrollees from the rich.

Best to homeschool my kids till they leave for uni

If there is truly something like this, then we have no government. That is about $34k and it makes no sense whatsoever. Where are the UN SDGs?Even colleges and some universities aren't charging that high abroad for a higher education. If I were the government I'll find a way to tax them heavily since they don't want to have sense. The British will keep milking us since we decide not to use our heads.

I wonder how much the teachers are paid...

Na politicians children go full the school

Those criminals go loot the economy dry

Sadly so. I better pass my neighbour. Big man. Odogwu and all foolish competition. I checked the fees for this school in UK which is for 13-18year olds. It is 47,535 pounds per year for boarding. I don't know what model they want to use but everything they will do favors the Brits. British curriculum my yansh. Colonial enslaved mentality. We many times as Africans don't know where our priorities lie. A lot of our kids arr missing from their African knowledge and customs but we teleport them to be European minds in an African body

42 what?

"Legalized" money Laundering

How did they arrived at the cost. How much will teachers be paid. Will they all be foreigners (is that even allowed in Nigeria)

No matter the matter we will be rich till we die in Jesus name 🙏.

AMEN 🙏 🙏

Yet no president of Nigeria went to such expensive school.

Non of my business.

However, that money would establish them overseas.
