Education Minister Melanio Paredes discarded his department could overrule Resolution 1-2009-2010 that establishes that tuition need to be paid in advance. He said that his department could not rule the schools' economic affairs. However, he said the Ministry would call a meeting to discuss what measures could be taken to reduce the impact of the decision.
Private schools have agreed that as of the 2010-2011 school year tuition fees need to be paid in advance. The Private Schools Association agreed to work with local credit bureau Data-Credito and report any parent who has failed in making timely payments.
The argument is that the Code for the System of Protection of the Basic Rights of Children and Young People establishes that schools cannot discriminate or penalize children in any way. The code also establishes that if a school needs to suspend a child from school because the parents have failed to pay tuition, it can only do so at the end of the school year.
The private schools association argues that many parents use these two articles of the law to avoid paying for the school year. The schools say the parents just move their child to another school. The school then has to absorb the loss.
