Private Schools as Cash Cows: Are Parents Being Exploited?

A faith-based private school in Nigeria is charging multiple fees before admission. Parents pay ₦7,000 for a common entrance exam from primary to secondary. Then they’re asked to join optional lessons at ₦35,000, which many feel pressured to take. Successful candidates face another interview fee of ₦25,000 covering the session, meal and medical check. In today’s tough economy, is this practice fair? Are private schools across Nigeria turning parents into cash cows?
