Parents are therefore advised to only pay the amount in the Gazette Notice and report incidents of any students turned away for not paying higher fees to their respective County Directors of Education.
Boards of Management in schools are expected to run schools within the set ceilings with austerity measures in place to ensure that the cost of education is affordable to all parents in order to achieve access and quality education for all children.
County Education Boards must ensure strict compliance with these policy guidelines. They should take appropriate action, including revoking the appointment of any Board of Management in any schools where the guidelines are violated.
