‘No amount of inflation can…’: Bengaluru parents outrage over ₹2.1 lakh fees for 3rd grade

Bengalwi’s parents are going to streets and social media due to the annoyed private school rent after the publication revealed a 2.1-lac rupee’s annual payment for a third grade student.

The division of payments, which shares the “Parent Voice” association, includes 1.9 lakh ₹ tuition fees for 9,000 annual fees եւ 11,449 ₹, which is labeled as “installation”. The title of the post summarizes frustration. No inflation can justify. The government regulates the fees of engineering college, but avoids school payments. There is no business like school business. “

The “Voice of the Parents’ Association” called on the immediate government to intervene, describing the situation as “profitability and commercialization of education.” Recognizing the constitutional rights of schools in accordance with the 29th, 30th and 19 (1)) (1) (1) (1) (1) ((1)), the group claimed that these freedoms did not allow too much profit.

The association urged the government to create committees for payment and exercise strict control, preventing school regulatory systems. It also accused schools of resisting accountability measures and criticized corruption to perpetuate the problem.

The viral post has caused a heated debate on social networks on access to education. One of the users claimed that “driving a good infrastructure is expensive, and the restriction of fees can have negative consequences. The best solution is to open quality public schools. ” Others pointed out the systemic changes as a solution, one of the commentators wrote: “When the privileged schools elect public schools, their infrastructure will improve automatically. The government’s task is to provide free and quality education for everyone. “

Some users attributed high payments to premium international curricula. “Schools like Wipe Field and Sarjapur pay the same, citing Cambridge and IB programs and smaller grades,” said one of the commentators. Meanwhile, others accused of market dynamics, noticing: “Parents who want to pay such fees create this market, giving them the opportunity to charge schools too much.”
