AN ADDITIONAL INTEREST RATE OF APPROXIMATELY 5% IS ADDED TO THOSE WHO WANT TO PAY IN INSTALLMENTS

An additional interest rate of around 5% is added to almost all educational institutions for parents who want to pay in installments. The Ministry of National Education also made an announcement regarding private school fees. According to the information provided by the Ministry of Education, the figure reached by dividing the total of the Wholesale Price Index (WPI) and the Consumer Price Index (CPI), which is accepted as the inflation rate for the increase in private school fees, is only applied to intermediate classes. Private schools determine the education fees for students who will register for the first time and are generally considered as preparatory class themselves.

Due to the arbitrary nature of this year's price increases, it is expected that the number of students attending private schools will be low and the demand for public schools will increase.
