I HAVE received a notice from the private school where my two younger children study to pay their fees for two months. The amount comes to Rs125,000/whereas my monthly emoluments are Rs 76,000. I face a similar quandary paying the fees for my three elder 1(ids.
Being a salaried person I have over the years almost consumed whatever savings and inheritance I received from my parents.
Besides school fees, I have to pay utilities and other household expenditure. In this scenario, if I want to survive and continue living at a bare minimum, I am left with the following options: a) pull out my kids from the school, b) earn money through corruptpractices and c) resign from the government job and start teaching in the private school where I will be exempted from paying the fees for my children.
The chief minister, the education minister and education authorities are requested to improve the quality of education in government schools and also regulate private schools effectively.
Yasmeen Hyder Karachi (2) PRIVATE schools have all but taken over the task of education. If an analysis of their function and the results achieved is conducted, we see that some of them have proved their worth.
Despite this fact, their fees are high which the common man cannot afford, unless he cuts down on other expenses. The ironyis thatthe students are notconsidered on individual basis. Students who need more attention are not given the additional care that they deserve. As a result, these students are always left behind their colleagues.
I strongly advocate that each student should receive the attention, care and teacher guidance that is their right.
