In my country, if you fail your exams you generally can't progress, no matter how much money your parents have. At least that used to be the case. Standards are now falling, with universities needing the money from such academically poor but financially rich students.

Maybe the sentence means that if the child fails, certain bribes will need to be paid in order to get the student into a school.
