"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, maybe, I need to make it very clear that the Governmentâs responsibility is to provide free day secondary education. Provision of meals is purely the responsibility of parents, whether the students are in boarding schools or not. Any other fees that are levied in day schools are imposed with the full understanding of parents through their respective Parents Teachers Associations (PTAs). They hold meetings and agree on the amounts to be charged. The District Education Boards (DEBs), where Members of Parliament sit, authorize those charges before the schools are allowed to collect them. So, to throw the ball back to the Ministry to pay outstanding fees is not acceptable. As far as the Ministry is concerned, it has done its part. It has paid for tuition for all the children."
