Why can't school books, uniforms, and supplies be included in school fees (fees which are already expensive enough on their own)

This new practice of making everything a workbook, so books can't be passed down within families, needs to stop. Why should I have to buy the exact same books multiple times just because I have more than one child? It feels like it's all about putting more money in the publishers' pockets.

It's important because the youths are the future, and if our leaders are intelligent enough to govern it's citizens and make a batter for thw inhabitants of Jamaica, then this would be apart of making things better. Tho i beleive it should be free, but affordable/cheap is good

Books are really expensive and not every family can afford them - books can be preserved and given back or sold at a much better rate.

Joining the call for modern, effective, affordable & accessible educational tools and supplies for a significant majority of Jamaican families. Many youths are being left behind, widening economic gaps.
