Soaring nursery fees give parents the jitters
MUMBAI: With nursery admissions starting from December, parents have begun the hunt for the perfect school for their children. With pre-primary schools popping up at every corner, parents are spoilt for choice, coupled with the grueling interviews, long queues and donation demands.
However, what bothers them the most is the soaring fee structure. Since no government body regulates the pre-primary schools, the spiralling fees have sent parents in a tizzy.
€œThe average fees charged are around Rs50,000 to Rs1,00,000, with some schools even demanding around Rs50,000 as donations,€ said Vijaya Salunke, a parent.
