More than 2k parents report schools who didn’t provide 25% bus refund

Disgruntled parents have filed more than 2k complaints to the Consumer Protection Authority against schools that have flouted the authority’s directive to refund 25% of last year’s bus fees, the local press reports. Head of the authority Ahmed Farag said 93% of schools complied when approached by the authority, while some schools unsuccessfully challenged the decision before the State Council. Schools could face hefty fines ranging from EGP 20k to EGP 1 mn if they refuse to provide refunds.
