Question
Is it permissible for an educational institution (seminar) to charge students amounts between 40-250 NIS for absence from classes if it was not announced in advance? Additionally, the payment is made in cash only (because they do not report this collection to the state, which means it's black money...), am I required to pay? The seminar claims that a student who does not pay cannot continue studies after Passover and her professional certificate is invalidated. Are they allowed to do such a thing? And am I obligated to pay them?
Answer
Hello
When you send your daughter to a Haredi institution, you clearly understand that the conditions of the Ministry of Education will not determine the payment. And you sent her there with this understanding.
