Answer

What can Mallorca parents do to reduce the cost of going back to school?

The most effective options are usually second-hand purchases, swap markets, shared buying and asking schools for clear material lists as early as possible. Some parents in Mallorca also reuse uniforms, buy only the essentials at first and wait before spending on non-mandatory extras. Clear information from the school can make it much easier to plan and avoid unnecessary costs.
