This is regarding Jain Public School, Puttenhalli, JP Nagar 7th Phase, Bangalore. There school fee was Rs 95000 last year out of which they took only Rs 76000 last year considering just online classes. But this year, they have increased the fees to Rs 1, 12, 000 even when the kids won't be going to schools and it will mostly be online classes only this year as well. Moreover, parents have to take care of other expenses for online classes like arranging for laptop, broadband internet etc. With pandemic affecting earnings of parents and these extra expenses to support online classes, it becomes very difficult if school is increasing fee by a very high amount like this. This is when school will save a lot on infrastructure costs like managing swimming pools, events, sports, electricity, computer labs etc. The same concern is there from other parents with kids in this school and emails have been written to school requesting for fee reduction, but they are not ready to do it.
