Have you ever thought that you have to spend 21,000 rupees every month to learn ABCD in nursery? It seems strange to hear but the fee structure of a private school in Hyderabad has shocked the entire country. The matter came into the discussion when Anuradha Tiwari, founder of Dharma Party of India, posted the fee receipt of Nasar School on social media. In that photo, the annual tuition fee of the nursery was stated to be Rs 2,51,000, that is, a monthly fee of more than 21,000 months.
School fee structure
Nursery: 2,51,000 rupees
Pre-primary i and ii: Rs 2,42,700
Class 1 and 2: 2,91,460 rupees
Class 3 and 4: Rs 3,22,350
A debate broke out on social media. Some people started questioning increasing the unbridled fees of schools, some said that they do not give, do not send a child to such school. One user wrote that this entire system has now become like scam. The government should bring regulation. The second said that childhood studies will now have to be taken on EMI? One user said that in such a fee, the child should get a job in NASA. So at the same time another user said that some schools in Delhi-NCR take more than 1 lakh rupees only for tuition fees.

What is its real issue?
This debate was not limited to just one school. Coinswitch and Lemonn co-founder Ashish Singhal shared a report and wrote that now the school fees are increasing at a rate of 10–30% annually, which is more than the middle class income. He informed that today 19% of the average Indian family is spent in school fees.
Has really a luxury become a luxury?
The matter is not just that fees are high. The real concern is whether education is becoming a profitable business? Will teaching your child to a good school for an ordinary family now will remain just a dream? No official statement has yet come from Nasar School on this entire controversy. But there has been a flood of questions on social media. Is education left only for those who can pay huge amount?
