Education Review : Lions High School Students Allegedly Sent Home Over Remedial Fees, Raising Concern
By Malachi Motano
Concerns have been raised over the alleged sending home of students at Lions High School over unpaid remedial fees, with questions emerging about the impact of the practice on learners’ education. According to concerns raised by members of the public, some of the affected students reportedly have no outstanding school-fee balances, with their fees having already been settled through the City MP Dr. Joshua Oron Bursary.
The decision to send students away from school over remedial payments has sparked concern, with critics arguing that it disrupts learning and places unnecessary pressure on parents and guardians, particularly those from financially disadvantaged backgrounds.
The situation has reportedly been more worrying for some students who were allegedly left stranded around Mega City after being sent home in the morning. Concerns have been raised over their safety and welfare, especially for learners who may have limited resources or nowhere immediate to go.
Calls have now been made to the Lions High School administration to urgently review the matter and consider alternative ways of addressing remedial-fee concerns through proper communication with parents and guardians.
Those raising the concerns have urged the school to prioritise the welfare and education of learners, arguing that students should not lose valuable classroom time over financial matters that can be addressed administratively.
The matter has also prompted a direct appeal to Education Cabinet Secretary Julius Ogamba to intervene and ensure that the rights and welfare of affected learners are protected. “Let us put the interests and education of our children first. Education must come before unnecessary barriers,” concerned members of the public said.
