The rising financial burden on parents due to arbitrary fee hikes, unexplained charges, and administrative harassment by certain educational institutions is a growing crisis that demands immediate attention. Schools, meant to be centers of knowledge and growth, are increasingly adopting exploitative policies—hindering access to education and pressuring families with unjust financial demands.
From retroactive fee increases to denying students their monthly results unless all dues are cleared, these institutions are engaging in practices that put undue stress on children and parents alike. The situation has now escalated further—blocking students from Parent-Teacher Meetings (PTMs), denying attendance, refusing to check homework, and causing emotional and mental distress to families who struggle to meet these rising costs.
We call upon journalists, editors, and media professionals across all platforms to shed light on this issue. The silence of authorities must be challenged, and the voices of affected parents must be heard. Investigative pieces, expert analysis, and public discourse are crucial in holding institutions accountable and pushing for policy reforms.
Now is the time to act. Let’s raise awareness, demand transparency, and ensure that education remains a fundamental right—not a privilege subject to financial manipulation.
