Good pratice

I will want to say this a good pratice by the Liberia gov't. I hope that the Legislature can pass a bill or law that wont let students attending public schools to pay fees. Because you wont be living in a country that most people live on about one US dollar a day and expect them to pay about fifty US dollar for school fees.
