BY SVTA - Parents across India are protesting steep private school fee hikes, accusing institutions of unfair practices and calling for transparency, regulation, and protection of students' rights
It’s really sad, because education should be accessible for everyone. Students should be able to just focus on learning, not stress about money. Same thing’s happening in Indonesia—private school fees are crazy expensive and don’t match what most people earn.
Honestly, I think part of the problem is the government. Public schools still don’t offer the same quality as private ones, so a lot of parents feel like they have no choice but to send their kids to private schools. And seeing that, many private schools take it as a chance to raise their fees even more.
But yeah, it’s complicated. On the other hand, private schools don’t get funding from the government, so they rely fully on tuition. And to be fair, the high fees usually come with good teachers, better facilities, and a more comfortable learning environment.
So what’s the root problem here? And what is the first step to fix this complex problems?
