Back to School in the Balearic Islands: Families Suddenly Face a €850 Bill

Answer

Why is the back-to-school bill in Mallorca so high this year?

Families in Mallorca are paying more because school supplies, books and digital learning materials have become more expensive. In many schools, updated editions, workbooks, apps and license fees are adding costs that used to be lower or paid only once. Private and semi-private schools can also require uniforms, sports gear and other extras.
