Preamble
Government has always
subscribed to the principle of education as a basic human right.
In pursuance of this goal, the Ministry of Education, Sport, Arts
and Culture believes that education should continue to be accessible
and affordable to the majority of the people. In this regard, Government
reviewed tuition fees in Government schools for 2009 first and second
terms and pegged the fees for 2009 mid-year Examinations.
Given the foregoing,
this circular minute gives details on the 2009 June Examination
Fees and the approved fees for first and second school terms in
Government schools. In addition, this circular minute also gives
