WCED reiterates student report cards cannot be withheld due to fee non-payment

We have had numerous parents contacting us stating that they have been told by schools that they would not be able to collect their children’s report cards at the end of the school year due to not paying their schools fees. Now annually we are faced with this problem and what makes it sad this year is the fact that many parents have been affected by the covid 19 pandemic, with some even having lost their jobs.
