These days you can find schools and academies anywhere. They are like mushrooms. I wonder if the local government really made a supervision to all those schools in their area or they are happy to get some commissions in each schools they accepted. Every year school fees are increasing so many parents are struggling on how to generate money to pay for their children's tuition fee. I still don't understand the bills they add on the miscellaneous fees. it's like running water that is unstoppable. I think school is a great business for school's admin. They can generate money buy putting things that aren't necessary anymore. It is more of propaganda to increase their net income but doesn't show on the quality of education they provide. Too bad, diploma is just a gate pass to be called professional in this society.

reality check, it is absolutely true. They increase tuition fees and other fees without asking the students and without proper outline where the fees go. They use the school as a medium of so called business. even the legal documents and other transactions have a payment.
