Talk your own: Na only rich people fit afford school fees now?

Is quality education becoming a luxury in Nigeria? On this episode of Talk Your Own, the hosts unpack the nationwide conversation sparked by a viral “A Day in the Life” video of a student at Charterhouse School, after many Nigerians discovered that the school’s annual tuition reportedly costs ₦46 million. The discussion explores the growing cost of private education and asks whether quality learning is gradually becoming inaccessible to the average Nigerian family. Are some elite schools packaging basic educational standards as luxury experiences to justify exorbitant fees? And what does this mean for the future of education in the country? Listeners call in to share their perspectives. Some blame the government for failing to strengthen public schools while appearing to endorse expensive private institutions by sending their own wards there. Others express concern over the increasing number of unqualified teachers in some schools and call on education regulators to enforce higher standards and greater accountability across the sector. The conversation also raises a critical question: Has the government allowed private schools to become the benchmark for quality education, leaving public schools behind? Join the discussion as Talk Your Own examines the widening gap in access to education and what it means for Nigeria’s future.
