The Ministry of Education plans to enforce strict laws on unendorsed tuition fee increments of private schools. The tuition fee increase made by the private sector has been the source of grave concern for parents. A new draft directive proposes fines of up to 500,000 Br on private schools that fail to clearly disclose monthly or term-based tuition fees at the beginning of the school year, after consultation with parents and guardians. The directive also states that schools that do not post tuition information on notice boards and websites will face a 100,000 Br fine, which will increase to 400,000 Br for repeat violators. Schools that raise fees without consulting parents may be fined up to 200,000 Br. The new directive entitled "Implementation of Free and Compulsory Education" was prepared by the Ministry of Education and released on November 13, 2025, for public comment.
