The rising fees of private schools in Pakistan has been a constant source of worry for countless parents. With the rising cost of living and stagnant incomes, many families are struggling to make ends meet, let alone afford the exorbitant fees demanded by private schools. The financial burden is heavy on parents, who are forced to sacrifice their own needs and preferences for the sake of their children’s education.
