Educatophobia

Day by day increasing school fees of private schools in India constantly, is bothering to Indian guardians due to lesser income parameters yet have to afford to make stand their kids in so called educated crowd. Thus the schooling has become one of profit making business among other businesses, that's why wealthy people in India are blindly investing to get good ROI. Because chances of losing your capitals are less and money earning potential is much higher. It makes me amused to know the idea of many Education Investors, they just say "If school business is not gonna to be succeed then we can turn to this school building as banquet hall or restaurant", wow amazing isn't that? This is the meaning of a school in eyes of these School businessmen. Good infrastructure and expensive fees has become status symbols of these business shops, yet without any prominent study levels. It can be understood very easily that how speedy these education business shops are opening with an example. In Tahsil Mandi Dhanaura (Main Town Area only), District Amroha under Uttar Pradesh, where hardly 35,000 of total population resides, 5 degree level Colleges, 7 CBSE Affiliated Schools (So called English Medium)(out of which 2 International Schools, 1 World Class School, 1 also with international type school), 4 UP Board affiliated Inter colleges, 2 Govt. aided Inter Colleges, 1 Govt. and 3/4 private Junior School, and couples of Govt. primary schools and many more schooling products are in pipe line of rich people. So whatever be the reason of opening of these schools, but main motive is clear i.e to safely invest your wealth with best ROI. Few people would be familiar with the tactics of this money earning business, let me make it clear;
(1) The higher fees structure, the better Institution is supposed to be.
(2) Poor teachers with an average monthly salary of 5000 INR yet with better educated backgrounds and experiences. Where teachers are treated as daily wages laborers. Few of the Institutions show their teaching staff salaries just double in official documents but poor teachers are asked to deposit half of that official salaries to school before arriving salaries into their bank accounts.
(3) Private schools also work as stationers and they themselves provide School books and related stationery, Uniforms and other schooling accessories at their own rates. They conduct their contracts with directly publishers, who sufficiently co-operate to do this fraud in an effective manner following by printing 50% more rates of the actual cost of an item. Because kids and guardians are bounded, they never make an objection against all this.
(4) Various occasional fees in the name of Social activities/Development fees/Library Fees/Generator Fees/Computer Education Fees/Admission Fess?Examination Fees/Various Contributions for Cultural programs and many more.

Now let's have a look comparison between Private Education Business and Govt Schools-

(1) Average schooling fee of a prenursery going kid might be 800-1000 INR/month in a town like Mandi Dhanaura, but Teaching staff to these kid will be earning average 2000 INR Monthly whereas primary education is free in Govt schools and teaching staff gets near about 35000-40000 INR Monthly with other governmental emoluments yet with or without scholars strength. 
(2) Stationery material and uniforms are sold in private schools on double or triple times of rates whereas in govt schools whether study material is free or much cheaper along with free uniforms to scholars.
(3) Average strength in a private school in any class may be 50-60 scholars whereas a govt school can be run with 20-30 scholars or with 5-10 scholars.

The interesting fact in this scenario is that no governmental rules, regulations or policies are made probably in any Indian States/UTs to frame fees structures of these privately owned institutions. It looks like that ruling parties are allowing to these Private Eduction Investors to loot Indian Guardians. Indian population should study to literate or not, it doesn't matter for them, they just want more money whether in any name. There is no any agenda to regulate this business either by any NGO or any Initiative. While India has a mission "Right to Education". When this mission will come to end, no one just doesn't know.
That's why I call this business as "Educatophobia" for unlucky Indian guardians and Kids as well.
