This study aimed at examining whether the rate of material fees that is charged to the
students in the BRAC-run community schools should be reviewed. Information was
collected from guardians of 550 students of 11 BRAC-run community schools. Some
qualitative information was also gathered from the guardians, teachers of the concerned
community schools, the members of School Management Committees, community
people and concerned BRAC staff. Data show that a large proportion of the students
came from extremely poor and socioeconomically backward households. Majority
schools were located in the socioeconomically backward and coastal areas. Majority of
the household heads were engaged in such occupations that yield very low income and
had no education. Majority of them had no arable land. Thus, they were not in position to
pay the material fees regularly. The findings suggest to reduce the amount of fees to an
extent the service receivers will be able to pay. At the same time the existing system of
fees realisation may be reviewed since it was not effective enough. |
