Disgruntled parents of children at Goldridge College, an upmarket private college in Kwekwe, are suing the school for allegedly demanding tuition fees and outstanding balances in United State Dollars (USD) despite Government abolishing the use of the multi-currency regime.
In their application to the High Court, the parents Stanley Makunde, Tichafa Chiwanza and Livious Mukwiri, accused the school and its Board of Governors of defying a Government directive by continuing to demand payment in United States dollars.
The college is allegedly asking parents whose children have been offered Form One places next year to pay US$500 in Development levies.
The parents alleged that the children whose parents were defaulting were being sent home by the school authorities.
