I guess we are living in the world where time is always a
crunch and to be honest sometime we don’t pay too much attention related to
such kind of issues especially
when our kids or dear ones are concerned and just accept the
fact or maybe I should call a lifestyle paybacks to live in a Satellite City as
a mandate. But I think we should think
for a second about our schooling vs. now schooling.
There is no equation where we can compare our education with
our kids beat any inflation formulae. Just as an example my engineering fee
from a Premier Institute (within a city which is seventh largest metropolis in
India) for whole 4 years is almost equivalent to one month KG fee of my little
buddy here in Gurgaon (which is again close to 2-3 times that of Delhi schools
regular fees). I purposefully don’t want to take names of any school in Gurgaon
as more or less they all have the same fee structure with regular yearly
increments. Now the question is should we think about this issue and action
plans or just let it go under the carpet. Also as a matter of fact the issue is
not only related to affordability but also regulatory, real estate prices is
one such example.
The solution to this issue is not from an individual’s
boycott from the school but to stand for regularizing the education sector in
Gurgaon be it a private or public schools/institutes as the land, license costs
etc. granted to these schools are all subsidized. Schools serve the vital role
in the society and ideally the prime vision mission of the schools should not
just serve as being a commercial platform but to focus more in honing the new
upbeat India.
Please share your thoughts or insights on this and if there
is anything which we can do about it.
Even persistent and consistent gush of water results a
signature on the stone so I believe there is nothing which is impossible in
today’s modern world.
