In the name of Quality Education

In the name of providing quality education, private schools (better say the modern education shops) have an exorbitant fee structure. After all, what is the fault of children coming from the middle income groups whose parents are being pinched hard by unreasonable fee and other allowances? These institutes not only charge Rs 15,000 to Rs 25,000 as hefty fee from the students but also charge exorbitant admission fees in the form of donation, annual charges, tuition fee, security charges, transportation and annual functions at the time of admission. In addition to a monthly amount running into thousands of rupees there is propensity to collect it many months in advance without any justification. Another condition is parents are made to buy course books, stationery items etc and uniform from school's/ recommended shops bookshop at nearly double the rate without concession plus thousands of rupees are to be paid out of the guardian's wallet on and off. When it comes to the academics the standard is mediocre, but despite the devastating facts and deteriorating condition of the schools, parents are coerced into relying on these schools, as they do not have alternatives. There are infinite other reports, must be monitored strictly, it will discourage commercialization of education and save hapless parents from the avaricious designs of the school managements.
