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?

I've noticed the same, extra levies seem common before admission in many private schools here.

Charging exam fees then optional lessons at high cost already sets a worrying tone for a school's genuine mission.

While fees seem high, it's unfair to assume all extra charges are purely exploitative.

Parents should compare fee structures of several schools, ask for detailed breakdowns, and negotiate optional lesson costs upfront.
