An astronaut, a teacher, a fireman, a doctor... Children dream of what they would like to become when they've grown up.

With the new school year in full swing, parents had to face the cost of school education for their children. For parents opting for a private school, the current average monthly fee is N$4,912.42 and adds up to a N$58,759.09 per year with an annual increase of 10+%.

Below is a summary of 2017 private school fees in Windhoek as provided by the schools or as provided on their websites.

Add to that the cost of uniforms, sports gear, music lessons and for some extra maths and science lessons, and you're looking at a rather daunting sum.

The solution to providing the best possible education for your kids could include the idea of starting to save early to making use of different payment types.
