The National Education Council (CNE) ruled that private schools will be able to adjust registration and dues according to inflation, levels of investment in the schools, training of personnel and other benefits granted to school staff. Ordinance 1-2001 postpones the indexing of dues charged by the private schools for next year. Last year President Mejia signed a law that was supposed to regulate private school charges starting with the 2001-2002 school year. This law was disputed by the private school sector as undermining their ability to maintain quality at the schools.
