KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): The Education Ministry should recommend a price cap be set for the Parents and Teachers Association (PIBG) fees based on the parents' ability to pay. “The ministry should come out with guidelines on the fees by taking into account the location and type of school as well as the parents' ability to pay. “The ministry can also make exceptions for parents with many children or are from the lower income group (B40),” he told Bernama. Mohd Ali was commenting on Education Minister Dr Maszlee Malik's statement Wednesday (Jan 2) that the ministry would not standardise the PIBG fees nationwide. Meanwhile, the National Union of the Teaching Profession (NUTP) president, Kamarozaman Abd Razak (pic), has suggested that a cap of RM50 be set for the PIBG fees, saying it was fair and not too taxing.
