The management of Sabis International School has been stopped from demanding full fees for online lessons offered during the Covid-19 pandemic. Their case was necessitated by a communication received from the school demanding payment of full fees. They were of the view that they be allowed to offset up to 50 per cent of the school fees for third term of the school year 2019-2020 and be charged for virtual lessons. The institution says the contract between the parents and the school was private and the court ought not to intervene in private matters. That notwithstanding, the school insists that parents must pay fees according to its terms as this is a private contract," the judge noted.
