Please read, sign & share the petition! This is for all the parents who are struggling with school admissions & paying hefty school fees for their children.

I completed my 4 years of Engineering in 2005 by spending around Rs. 1,20,000/- in total & that includes all of my expense from education fees, to food, to accommodation, everything in Pune city. Just after 10 years, I am going to spend around same amount for my son's 1st standard only & that includes only school expense.

After going through rigorous admission process, all the parents have to go through the school's financial torture when it comes to paying the fees. Besides the regular Tuition fees, schools are charging many other types of fees which are totally illogical. They are also forcing parents to buy books and uniforms from the school or specific vendors only which are sold at elevated prices. On top of this, everyday we receive request from the school to bring in different types of items like stationary, decorative items,  other activity props etc. Schools are also asking parents to buy all the sports equipment or music equipment on their own. So, even after paying so much fees, schools are not affording these materials as well on their own.  Every parent in India is going through these problems & government is not taking necessary actions to curb this. These private schools have become the commercial centers instead of educational centers.

Here are the 2 primary purposes of this petition:

1. Ask central government to regulate the fee structures for the private schools all over the India.
2. Create a centralized admission process (at state/city level) to avoid the unwanted hassles for the parents. 

Wouldn't it be good to visit a government controlled admission center to seek admission for your child, pay your schools fees (to the government) there itself & have the school collect their fees from government later? This will ensure that the schools wont be able to charge unwanted fees.  This is causing poor people to be pushed further away from the education & its almost equal to denying them Right of Education. 

If you agree, please sign this petition and send a strong message to government to intervene & end this private school's monopoly.
