MOEHE confirms private-school fee increases capped for 2025-26

The Ministry of Education and Higher Education (MOEHE) has reaffirmed that private-school tuition increases for the 2025-26 academic year will continue to be reviewed against its approval framework, which considers facility upgrades, curriculum changes and demonstrated cost pressures.

What changed

• Schools wishing to raise fees must submit a justification dossier.
• Increases are benchmarked against the published national framework.
• Parents are entitled to a written explanation of any approved increase.

What it means for parents

Families budgeting for the next academic year should request the current approved fee schedule directly from each school, including transport, uniforms and exam levies that often sit outside the headline tuition figure.

Always confirm the latest figures with the school admissions office.
