For secondary level, day scholars are to pay Shs960,000 per term while the boarding section will pay Shs1.6 million in fees and other charges.

Speaking to KFM, the Union’s secretary General, Filbert Baguma said this was long overdue with parents subjected to untold suffering due to unregulated fees structures.

He however says as this is done, government needs to ensure it increases its capitation grant to the government schools.

Under the proposed statutory instrument, the education ministry has also set the standard mechanisms for how fees will be determined or reviewed by a school.
