Can a private school charge amalgamation fees?

Yes, a private school can charge amalgamation fees, provided they are disclosed in the school's fee structure and parents/guardians are made aware of these charges at the time of admission. Amalgamation fees can be charged to cover expenses associated with the school's merger or acquisition with another institution, such as administrative costs, legal fees, and infrastructure development. However, it's important for the school to ensure that these amalgamation fees are reasonable, transparent, and consistent with the relevant regulations and guidelines set by the education authorities or regulatory bodies.
