Hello ruby, The same is true in my country. Educators or school administration can always find a reason to justify their tuition increase, like new buildings, refurbishing old rooms, salaries, overheads etc... Rising cost of education is not isolated, as i think it is worldwide. Like in my country the cost of education is so high that there has been a growing increase of students enrolling in public schools (and out of school). Thus resulting to crowded classrooms and decline in the teacher's performance because you have to handle more than 40 students in a class. In some schools they have to divide the students by shift! This will eventually result in the decline in the quality of education that the future workforce should have. It is sad really.

I know, they're doing so too because they need more money to hire more teachers and get additional resources, they're just trying to save the global economy. I'm one of those teachers still waiting from a school call!

Education is so expensive. Even though your child going to a public school, but still you have to pay for projects, uniforms, and other expenses.. Specially if you send your child to a private school, and yes, in a primary school, you will be shock for the expenses, like books, projects, uniforms and monthly payments. What i can be suggest is that we have to have a small family with 1 or 2 kids so that we can afford to send them to school.

Dear man, I have the same feeling with you.In China college students must pay about 5000 RMB each year,some universities should ask them pay moren than 10000 RMB.But in china,if you have no money to pay ,you could lend money from bank,and you should return a little more after you can earn money.
