The ministry has also not reduced the level of rentals the teachers have been paying over the years, despite the ongoing overcharges.

At present, MoESD figures peg rentals for a one-bedroom sitter at P342 and a two-bedroom flat at P608, while Kerekeng teachers union officials say a one-bedroom there costs P500 and a two-bedroom flat, P900.  A three-bedroom flat costs P1,200, while the MoESD says its highest rental for any flat is P1,076.
