The exorbitant admission and tuition fees of Roman Ridge School in Accra’s North Ridge neighborhood have infuriated some social media users.
The mission of the school, according to its official web pages, is to “create a top breed of citizens capable of responding to the complexity of our millennium through the influence they will have in their local communities.”
This explains why, in addition to the entry and tuition fees, they charge exorbitant fees for a variety of other services.
A woman who went to the school to apply for his child couldn’t believe his eyes when he saw the excessive fees the school charges its students, so he took to the internet to express his feelings.
She tweeted a picture showing that Roman Ridge only charges 20,000 cedis for entry.
And in terms of tuition, kids in preschool through primary six pay GHC 10,580, those in junior high school pay GHC 12,563 and, last but not least, those in the sixth form pay GHC 13,225.
In addition to these, parents are also responsible for the cost of lunch and uniforms.
