FG raises school fees of Unity Schools
Federal Government of Nigeria have decided to increase the school fees of new students enrolling in Federal Government Colleges (FGCs), also known as Federal Unity Colleges. The previous school fees for new students was N45,000, but the new fees have been increased to N100,000.
This decision has been met with mixed reactions. Some people have welcomed the increase, arguing that it is necessary to improve the quality of education at Unity Schools.
Others have criticized the increase, arguing that it is too expensive and will make it difficult for some families to afford to send their children to these schools.
The Federal Government has defended the increase, arguing that it is necessary to cover the rising costs of running Unity Schools.
They have also said that the increase will help to ensure that only the most deserving students are admitted to these schools.
The increase in school fees is likely to have a significant impact on the number of students who are able to attend Unity Schools.
It is possible that some families will be forced to send their children to other schools, which may have a negative impact on the quality of education in these schools.
It is also possible that the increase in school fees will lead to an increase in the number of students who drop out of school. This is because some students may not be able to afford the increased fees, even if they are eligible for financial assistance.
The impact of the increase in school fees on Unity Schools is still unclear. However, it is likely to have a significant impact on the number of students who are able to attend these schools, as well as on the quality of education that they receive.
Here are some additional details about the increase in school fees for Unity Schools:
The increase only applies to new students. Existing students will not be affected.
The increase will take effect from the 2024/2025 academic session.
The increase will be implemented gradually, over a period of three years.
