How does one deal with the rising cost of education?

simranlalia1 · Jan 7, 2010

As you all know that the cost of education is rising by the day. Its growing by huge amounts and imagine for people who have got more than 2 kids. Its terrible as they have to pay the high fees of schools in order to provide good education. Not to forget the huge amount of donation required to get them admitted. Is there any way to deal with such rising cost in education??

Any suggestions?

hi,
i feel one should reasearh a school 1st & then try for admission.it should include
1.tution fee
2.bus fee
3.yearly expenses like books,uniform etc
4.other expenses like excursions,sports day,trips etc
one should also check the yearly class 10 & 12 result of the school to judge the education performances .keep an eye on the local newspaper about other co curricular activities & sports activities of the schools much before ones child is ready for formal education
one should not go for a school just because'Mr Sharma's son goes there'.one should always see whether one can afford it or not.
then the annual increments,bonus etc can be kept aside to pay for the donations etc which anyway is a one time payment.
also,the nearer the school to the residence the better.it can cut cost of transport drastically.

Well i don't quite agree to that thought....why should parents send their child to school based on the distance from home...agreed it cut costs down, but what if the quality of education is bad in that particular school. Parents should concentrate on providing good education to their kids and plan for a better future for them as Education is kind of an Insurance which parents need to invest in. A good education will surely ensure that...isnt it?
