According to the Survey, seven (7) in every ten (10) surveyed schools further increased their fee charges in the first term of 2023, in addition to the increment made in September 2022 (third term of the previous academic year). Schools reported an increase in the enrollment of boys and a decrease in the enrollment of female students in the first term of 2023.
