School fees | 2 Jul, 2020

Schools have been trying to provide education online to students since lockdown was imposed in the last week of March. Many issues cropped up regarding admission fees charged by private schools, transportation charges etc.

Admission processes are over and the issues have settled down. It is to be noticed that most private schools have the quarterly payment of paying fees. Since this year has really been tough on the economic front for businessmen and private job holders, the schools may introduce the system of monthly payment of fees as an option that some parents may like to opt for. As private school fees are on a much higher side and paying 3 months' fees together at this recession period may affect the parents adversely. This if brought into effect will be a boon to many middle class parents.

Taking admission in May which is close to lakhs and again to pay quarterly fees in June is something to worry. Through your esteemed paper, I would like to request the School Management Committees to look into the matter.

A concerned parent,
