Lima schools caught violating Peru consumer rights
Living in Peru
Israel Ruiz
INDECOPI, Peru's consumer protection agency reported that thirty-eight private schools in Lima were charging parents fees that were not permitted.
Among these was the infamous "cuota extraordinaria", which parents were being charged when registering their children in the schools.
It was also detected that these schools were violating Peruvian consumer rights by charging parents tuition for future classes, said Patricia Sarria, member of INDECOPI's consumer commission.
She stated these schools were ordered to immediately stop charging these fees and that punishments were being decided for these establishments.
Another problem found was that schools were obligating parents to purchase supplies and uniforms at certain stores.

They do reports on this each year.Add your comment
No doubt, they'll have another report next year on the same problem.
Nobody does anything, therefore it's forgotten until the next year.
It's old news by now.
