If this trend continues, he will have to pay approximately Rs 9 lac annually when his son reaches Class 12

The cost of education has been a growing concern for parents, especially in private institutions. A real estate consultant based in Gurugram, Udit Bhandari, recently took to X to express his concerns about the annual increase in school fees for his son who is currently studying in the 3rd Class.

Bhandari, who currently pays Rs 30,000 per month, shared that the school authorities do not provide any explanation for the hike, and the fees continues to compound at a rate of 10% per annum. If this trend continues, he will have to pay approximately Rs 9 lac annually when his son reaches Class 12. He said when the parents protested, the school authorities told them to look for another school for their kids!

Several other parents who shared similar experiences with private schools in their respective cities commented on the social media post. Many parents said the annual fee hikes are not justified by the schools. The high fees are particularly challenging for middle-class families, who are struggling to make ends meet due to high living costs and inflation.

One social media user Akash Singh said the government should intervene and add a cap on private school fees. But it seems he is expecting too much from the government.

One X user Manoj Arora said the main reasons for extraordinary high fees charged by private schools in India is that private schools are not regulated. They are big businesses which are running for profits. There is a massive demand supply gap. Parents have only 1 kid in most cases and they want to give their best. Government schools are actually pathetic. Homeschooling concept has not yet caught up in India.

One X user Tushar Bhargava said that it was the same case for DPS. One can’t object to anything. 10% hike in school fees every year. He said books are provided with inflated MRP.

Board of Control for Cricket in India announced in a statement on Tuesday, April 30, that Rohit Sharma as captain of a 15-man T20 World Cup will lead the squad and Hardik Pandya will serve as vice captain. Sanju Samson and Yuzvendra Chahal were rewarded for their outstanding IPL performances as they are included in the list while Rinku Singh and KL Rahul were two of the greatest misses.

As was to be expected, Virat Kohli and rookie opener Yashasvi Jaiswal were included in the 15-man roster. Batsman and wicketkeeper in the IPL Rishabh Pant, was selected for the T20I team following his valiant comeback to competitive play. Pant was not a consistent member of the T20 Indian Premier League (IPL) before his vehicle accident in December 2022. Nonetheless, he put on an incredible display with the bat and the gloves, scoring 398 runs in 11 games.

Sanju Samson was awarded for his outstanding performance in the IPL 2024, despite missing out on the ODI World Cup squad the last year. Although KL Rahul was also a contender, the skipper of Rajasthan was chosen.

As MI captain, Hardik Pandya has had a difficult time in the 2024 IPL, but he has been backed to be Rohit Sharma’s deputy. When Rohit Sharma was resting from T20Is to concentrate on the lead-up to the ODI World Cup last year, Hardik led India in 16 games. Additionally, seam-bowling all-rounder Shivam Dube, who has been belting sixes for CSK in the IPl 2024, has been selected by India.

The BCCI also announced that skipper Rohit Sharma and top selector Ajit Agarkar will address the media on Thursday, May 2, at the BCCI headquarters in Mumbai.

On June 5, India will play their first match of the T20 World Cup 2024 against Ireland. After that, on June 9, they will play their group-stage matches against USA and Canada on June 12 and 15, as well as their bitter rivals, Pakistan.
