The National Federation of Private Schools (Fenacep) has decided not to apply resolution 1-2009-2010 which was passed on 20 September. The resolution called for parents to pay their children's private school fees in advance. Instead, parents are expected to pay their children's tuition fees on the 1st and 15th day of the school year. The decision was made yesterday during a meeting with the Minister of Education, Melanio Paredes who agreed to look at ways of easing tax pressures on these schools, which have seen costs increase substantially. During the meeting members of Fenacep presented documents that demonstrated the high costs of running a school and provided a legitimate reason to ask parents to pay their money up front. Fenacep represents 270 of the nation's 3,200 private schools.
