School charges controlled
12/4/2004 14:53
In order to prevent schools from overcharging their students, the local
education administration will adopt a transparent policy for educational fees
that will control their approval, and supervision, an official from the Shanghai
Education Committee said recently.
The educational administration will
hold public hearings on the items, amount, content and use of the education
fees. The education committee will over-see the system in the long
run.
Schools must get permission from their supervisors for each charged
item before collecting fees. All items, including tuitions, books, teaching
material expenses and others, should be included in a list of fees that are
collected at one time. No surcharge is allowed.
