Why fee hike in best school of Allahabad: MAKE FUTURE NOT MONEY

by Aparna Nigam education blogger

f we talk about the Best school in Allahabad, all are charging a high amount of fees for their services. These days education has became a business for many of the businessman. Schools have turned education into a business. Recently twenty students were expelled in a private school in Mumbai as their parents were protesting against hike in fee. Every individual has right to public services like health and education
and we strive our best to make our state a such that provides these basic facilities to every individual, but with the increase in privatisation there have been more cases wherein parents are harassed through frequent fee hike. Most of the best school in Allahabad are charging huge amount of fee in return of good education.

WHAT HAS LED TO THIS

Now comes the question about the reason for fee hike in private schools. As per the schools authorities, they give the reason as increase in rate of goods and services, books, uniform etc. While in a circular dated 19 April 2017, CBSE issued an advisory to not to indulge in commercial activities by way of selling of books, stationery, uniforms, school bag etc within the school premises or through selected vendors. Even the Best School in Allahabad are charging high fee for the services which they provide like boarding school facility. No doubt the concept of boarding school is good, but putting so much burden on parents is not at all done.

THIS PRIVATISATION AND COMMERCIALISATION OF EDUCATION MUST BE STOPPED

It is high time that commercialisation of education must be stopped. We all have the right to education as our fundamental right and it should be given to everyone. All best school in Allahabad and as well as in other parts of the country should follow the norms given by state and central government regarding the fee structure.
