Fatshimetrie, the highly anticipated new cultural center in the trendy district of the city, recently caused quite a stir with the introduction of fees for its new primary school. The school, which is opening this year for children aged five to eight, has sparked a range of reactions from the city’s residents regarding the costs associated with this exclusive institution.
Fatshimetrie Lagos, known for attracting the region’s elite, now caters to parents seeking to provide their children with an exceptional advantage in both academic and social development. With slogans like “Privilege, Prestige, Presence” and “Inspired by Britain, delivered to Lagos”, the arrival of Fatshimetrie Lagos in Lekki has stirred up a mix of excitement and skepticism among locals.
The discussion around the establishment was ignited by the pricing strategy. Parents are required to pay a registration fee of ₦2 million, following a validation and registration process, which does not cover tuition fees.
According to a shared screenshot, the annual tuition fee is ₦42 million, with a reduced rate of 31.5 million available for “founding students” aimed at fostering the necessary “social potential” for success.
The diverse reactions to these high costs have sparked lively debates and discussions online. Some criticize the concept of education exclusively reserved for the wealthy elite, while others argue that investing in quality education is crucial for children’s future.
The discourse surrounding the expenses at Fatshimetrie Lagos raises essential questions about access to quality education and socio-economic disparities in education. While some advocate for parents’ right to choose the best for their children, others call for measures to enhance accessibility to quality education for all.
Fatshimetrie Lagos, with its prestigious primary school and substantial fees, continues to be a topic of debate, fueling discussions on education and equal opportunities within the city. As the school opens its doors to welcome its inaugural students, it will be interesting to observe the impact of this initiative on the local educational landscape and the aspirations of families striving for excellence for their children.
