EDUCATION Minister Jimmy Uguro has warned schools not to refuse the enrolment of any student over the non-payment of fees.
“Special arrangements can be made between the parents and the school to pay the required fees over a period during the school year,” he said. “(But) while every child has the right to education, schools also need funds to operate.
