Parents in Bengaluru are raising concerns over escalating private school fees after a viral social media post revealed a ₹2.1 lakh fee for a third-grade student. The fee breakdown, shared by the Voice of Parents Association, includes ₹1.9 lakh for tuition, ₹9,000 for annual fees, and ₹11,449 as “imprest.” The association criticized private schools for “profiteering and commercializing education,” urging the government to regulate fees and enforce transparency through fee determination committees.
The post sparked debates online, with some suggesting government schools as a solution and others citing premium international curricula as a reason for high fees. Critics also attributed the issue to parents willing to pay exorbitant amounts, creating demand. The incident highlights ongoing concerns about the accessibility of affordable, quality education in Bengaluru.
