It's very common just as you said, in private schools, the rebate at which they make such demands compulsory and necessary is very alarming and uncomfortable.
Books that are bought from the school, at least should be used by the younger class when they reach that same grade, but instead pressure are being applied for renewal every term.
I just hope things will change for the better truly.
Thank you for sharing @chizzy100
Thanks for taking time to read through, I really thought it will be better to make changes regarding the system of compulsory purchase of textbooks and fees for graduation every single year just for leaving one class to another. It is really nit fair.
I really hope it get better real quick, parents are going through alot @samarijr0
