Parents: The sudden increase in tuition fees is somewhat unacceptable.
February 23rd is the day when students from Aihua Primary School report for duty. At about 1 1 in the morning, some parents were still talking about the rising tuition fees when the reporter came to school.
Ms. Wei, a parent, said that the fee paid by the children last semester was 2,650 yuan (including 350 yuan data fee), and this semester it rose to 3,500 yuan (including 300 yuan data fee). She thinks the tuition fees have changed too much.
According to the parents of the students, on the afternoon of February 22nd, the day before registration, they received the information about the rising tuition fees. At that time, the child's class teacher said that the tuition fee was increased because special education courses were to be offered in the new semester.
The reporter saw that the new semester fee notice posted by the school said that this spring semester, in addition to the courses prescribed by the education department, the school also specially set up Chinese studies education, and each student mastered at least two artistic skills. These courses will invite some experts in Chinese studies and art teachers.
In this regard, some parents are not convinced and hope that the school can list the specific reasons for raising tuition fees. During the interview, some parents said that he could not bear the rising tuition fees and planned to transfer his children to other schools. Among the parents, some parents said that they had gone through the transfer procedures for their children and registered in another private primary school.
School: it has been approved by the department and will not charge illegally.
The reporter saw that in the publicity column of the fees charged by Aihua Primary School this spring semester, a reply document from Nanning Price Bureau was posted, which was issued on August 20 last year. The reply said that according to the Notice on Printing and Distributing the Ministry of Education issued by the Price Bureau, the Education Department and the Human Resources and Social Security Department of the Autonomous Region (Gui Jia Fei [2010] No.20) and other relevant regulations, and on the basis of reviewing the running cost of Aihua Primary School, the school tuition standard was re-approved: the primary school tuition standard was 3,500 yuan per student per semester. The reply also mentioned: "The charging standard stipulated in this article will be implemented from the fall semester of 20 18. Please do a good job in publicity and explanation. "
Teacher Liu, the head of the school, said in an interview that they charged tuition fees according to the examination and approval standards of the price bureau. The day before the charge, the staff of the urban education bureau also went to the school to learn about the tuition. There are more than 700 students in this school, and two thirds of them have paid tuition fees.
In response to the question of why the tuition fee was raised, Mr. Liu said that the school has updated its teaching and education equipment, the teaching environment has been greatly improved, and the salaries of faculty and staff have also increased. The cost of running a school has increased greatly, and it is self-financing, so the tuition fee has been adjusted. "We have been running a school for 2 1 year. It is an old school and will not charge illegally."
