Parents may be exempted from paying school fees depending on their combined annual gross income.

The categories for the purpose of exemption are as follows:

• If the combined annual gross income of the parents is less than ten times the

annual school fees per learner, the parent qualifies for full ;

• If the combined annual gross income of the parents is less than thirty times but more than ten times the annual school fees per learner, the parent qualifies for partial exemption;

• If the combined annual gross income of the parents is more than thirty times the annual school fees per learner, the parent does not qualify for exemption. The categories are applicable if the annual school fees are determined in terms of section 39 of the Act.

A parent who wishes to be exempted from payment of school fees for each individual learner at a particular school must apply in writing to the chairperson of the governing body on the form that may be requested from the school.
