Private school fee

2017-04-29
PEOPLE are compelled to send their children to private educational institutions because of the poor standard of government-run institutions.

Private schools have become money-minting machines owing to their high fees.

These educational institutes have invented several different ways to fleece parents. Parents of a four-year-old have to pay Rs30,000 to Rs50,000 approximately at the time of their child`s admission, which is an exorbitant amount for middle-class families.

Then schools also sell books, notepads, uniforms and other related items. Parents are forced to buy all these items at the prices set by the school.

There seems to be no authority which monitors these private schools. The authorities concerned should take strict action against private schools to give relief to parents.
