If you know of the fees charged in schools in specific schools in major cities and towns across the country, please do add to this list. It would be interesting to compare and contrast the fees across different schools across the country. If possible, please try and verify the school fees with someone whose child goes to that school or with the school itself to ensure that the figures are up to date. Thanks.
