Vat and English medium schools
Parents are paying Vat with monthly tuition fees and annual fees since July 2007 to the English medium schools. I am surprised as I am not sure why should we pay it. Managers of the English medium schools usually charge high fees from the students and have good profits from this business. Parents are paying the tuition fees for their children as there is no alternative in our country. As no rules and regulations exist for the English medium school, they are charging whatever they like and the number of students in a class is often very high. Even there is no rule as to how many students will be in a class for a teacher.
It is their income and they are benefited and, as such, I think school management should pay the Vat. At this point I would like to draw the attention of the authorities concerned to solve the problem (who will pay Vatthe parents or school management?) immediately.
