A young gent sparked an online discussion after sharing an image of the schedule of fees for 2023 at Curro Schools.
Curro is the leading independent school network in South Africa that offers a range of options for parents looking for independent schooling. It is known for its quality education which comes at a relatively high price.
Twitter user @MalumSid claimed that apartheid was part of the reason behind expensive private education in his post with an image of the breakdown of fees attached.

In another story, Briefly News reported that South African social media users were left breaking a sweat on behalf of parents after they shared how much they fork out on school fees for their little ones.
The shocking figures were shared in a tweet by @thisha_omuhle, who asked parents how much they pay for school or creche fees annually.
Briefly News previously reported that sending your child to an excellent state-sponsored school costs anywhere from R8 000 to R20 000 yearly. These fees are relatively cheaper than private institutions, where average annual fees range between R30 000 and R70 000, with additional costs for boarders.
