I read in a newspaper in pune about a boy who has excellent memory , and that news had come in a local and reputed newspaper, but still he could not get admission in school , WHY? A friend of mine was telling me the problems he was facing getting his girl in a reputed school , atleast in india we have to pay heavy donations. After paying donations the fees are also high , is it really that costlier or schools have become a part of a business organisation. They seem to make more money in schools and colleges and maybe that is the reason we have seen school and colleges in pune going up , but still the cost of education is high. Im not talking about engineering or medical , im talking about high schools. There has to be a system from the government , for taking fees , ok to some extent govt has tried to get rid of donation part but not fully. And apart from that we see lots of classes going around , taken by the teachers teaching in same schools. Seems thats a fashion for classes everywhere. These are the requirements for everybody , and those can pay who have money , what about those who are really needy .

Education costs have been rising here on high school as well over the years although the government still provides most and if the family can't afford it the government will actually chip in the required amount of money here.
