I'm a concerned parent in Karachi, and I'm not alone in my worry. The alarming trend among schools in our city, increasing fees at an unjustified yearly rate, is creating a distressing economic barrier for families. As it stands, many parents are unable to secure proper education for their children due to these rising costs. It feels like our educational institutions have turned into a business mafia, prioritizing profit over the education of our children.

For families with more than one child, the issue is even more profound. It's becoming unaffordable for average and middle-class parents to give a fair chance to their kids. This reality is jeopardizing the future of our children and the country.

According to recent data, school fees in Karachi have increased by a notable margin in the past ten years without corresponding improvements in educational quality (source: Pakistan Education Statistics Report). This indicates that the fee hikes are not justified by better learning conditions or outcomes.

We urgently call upon the Pakistani government to intervene and regulate these unjustified yearly fee increases. Without immediate action, we risk failing a generation of young people and compromising Pakistan's future. Sign this petition to urge our government to hold these schools accountable and ensure affordable education for all.
