Education become a profitable business

What about our country. I openly said this to head of a coaching Centre this time. He smiled on me but did not give any comment. Everywhere, education institution is making money. On applying for higher education, each subject, need a big amount just for applying. Just imagine how much money they are making from the initial process of admission.

@Sreekala , Yes, I know I have already started a discussion about this thing in the past, staing how poor parents are being looted by these big businessmen! They ae literally sucking the blood of the parents!

@AKRao24 The head of the coach said to me fifteen thousand is nothing. I immediately replied, it is lot for me. The children who has no money for coaching will be out from the race. It is a sad situation.

I have received plenty of phone calls, in the name of counselling when 12th exams started. I said to them, he is not even finished his exams and how can he spend time for you. Each and every coaching centre, charging 18k onward for just one 2 months coaching. If you took admission prior (before starting 12th exam) then you would have paid nearly 30k.

@Aansh13 Money does matter a lot.

@Sreekala I have faced the similar situation like 15 years back.... That's how it runs actually... Duh....

They insisit to get every thing from school. The quality is not good with dress. We can buy it from outside comparatively in a less price. This is just a beginning and you will surprise on coming years. How much money you may need for her. When new academic year starts, school will take high fees, in the name of building development fund, maintenance charges etc. Last year, younger son's school charged Rs. 15100 and this year Rs. 16500 (for first quarter payment).

@akp100 Who is there to question it? No parents are ready to question the shcool authority and get bad names or spoil their children's future. So they do whatever they wish. Just imagine, for building fund they charges Rs. 5000/- per student, just imagine their income. They can build a new building with this amount easily.

@Sreekala That's too bad. How can they charge maintenance charges of buildings from us when we are already giving fees?! This is too bad. In my time it wasn't this bad.

How to survive with the education, that is the problem for ordinary people.

@ShifaLk

@Sreekala yes really. There are some very intelligent kids I've seen but they're poor so they can't get education at good institutions

Not free is not the right word. but costly.

@Mulidi

@Sreekala yeah nothing for free in everything we have to pay price

Here government schools are there to give education, But most of the schools are not upto the mark.

@Nakitakona Government schools are not doing the job in a perfect manner. They need improvement in the all the ways.

@Sreekala what do you mean not up to the mark?

@anil02 School buses are here good, I think. Forcing books from school, is common here.

I am not saying they have to do free service, but charging so high is not justified. Then paying lower wages to the teachers, who are making much efforts also not justified.

@Sreekala Forcing to buy books and uniform from some shops, is it fair, Here in these days it hot issue about school buses. They are using rejected buses.

I agree setting up a school is costly. But once you can make the money then you can gain back the profit within no time.

You mean, if we start a school then we need huge money? Schools know how to get money. My elder son took humanity stream and the school charged laboratory fees for him as well. There is no lab activities for humanities section, you know it. This way, they charged fees for all unnecessary things. When he completed 12th I thought there will be relief for me. Now I realized more expenses are on the way. For applying for higher studies, each subject is chargeable under the same university. Coaching class, as entrance exams are there, I am really tired up already. The admission is still on process, he wrote two tests and more on the way.

@Sreekala yes my friend, time changes a lot because of global crises and taxes.

Yes, that is the sad part, poor children can't reach these places. Even in middle class family people are struggling for making the fees for education.

In India it is costly, especially higher education. You need to send children for coaching for getting admission, as they do entrance exam for getting admitted for higher studies.

@LowRiderX Yes, education is a must too.

@Sreekala I understand. I believe that it is so in most countries, if something better and even education is desired, then it must be paid
