Mikateka Primary School Fees

To help you understand the fees at Mikateka Primary School, let’s start with something called Quantile levels. It’s like a special way the government decides how much money (in South African Rands -ZAR) to give to public schools towards providing free education.

As per the South African Schools Act (SASA), all School Governing Bodies (SGBs) in public schools have to add extra money to the government funding by asking parents to pay school fees and doing other fundraising activities. However, there are some schools called ‘no fee schools’ that don’t charge any fees. Whether a school is considered a “no fee school” depends on how well-off the community around the school is economically.

  1. Which Quantile is Mikateka Primary School: Q2
  2. Is Mikateka Primary School a NO-FEE school: Yes
  3. Is Mikateka Primary School a public or independent: Public

So, for each student, the government will pay:
  • Quantile 1: R1,177
  • Quantile 2: R1,177
  • Quantile 3: R1,177
  • Quantile 4: R590
  • Quantile 5: R204

Sometimes, the money the government gives to schools based on their quantile levels isn’t enough, especially for schools with higher quantiles. These schools are often independent schools. So, to cover their costs, schools need to find other ways to get money. They rely on things like donations from people who want to help and fees that students’ families pay. This money helps the schools pay for things like buildings, supplies, and other expenses to keep the school running smoothly. Read more about school fees exemption.

Fees Discount

Plenty of Independent schools often aim to lessen the financial burden on parents. One way they do this is by offering discounts to those who choose to pay the entire year’s fees upfront. These discounts can range from 3% to 10%, which can be quite helpful. Moreover, parents who have multiple children attending the school can request sibling discounts of up to 10%, further easing the costs for families with more than one dependent.

Application  Form/Process

Fortunately Mikateka Primary School application forms are very welcoming and can be reached out to directly from the school, where they will provide you with an application form and guide you through what else is needed to support an enrolment.
