In Australia there are many private schools that charge more than $AUS10,000 annually per student. Public schools where I teach are free.Overseas exchange students pay more that $AUS12,000 to study at a high school [ some of this is commission paid to their governments, agents in their country & Australia]and there are many colleges & unis which accept oversees fee paying students ahead of non fee paying Australian students in popular courses like IT, law, engineering etc.
