Money bags
This refers to the article, ‘The real price of education’ (September 20) by M Sadiq Swati. I, for one, totally disagree with the writer. For private school owners ‘business is business’. A school chain in Rawalpindi has increased the safety fee from Rs400 to Rs1,190. The fee on the whole has been increased by 100 percent.
The finance minister has shamefully increased the pay and pension of government employees by a mere seven percent. Why do the owners of the best school chains in the country not open branches in remote villages and rural areas. The reason is very clear: they are not worried about the education of the masses. They want to fill their bags with money. One has yet to see the day when these money bags will open a school in a village hamlet.
