Under Modi, cost of education has exploded -Subodh Varma

A recent NSO survey report shows that private educational institutions are charging exorbitant fees, and the government is not far behind.

Cost of primary education (class 1 to 5) has increased by 31% between 2014 and 2018, shows a comparison of National Statistical Office or NSO (formerly National Sample Survey Office) survey reports for the 71st Round and 75th Round. This is mainly fuelled by a staggering increase in private schools, both aided and unaided varieties. Similar increases have taken place in other higher levels of education, the reports show.

Although the two reports have some differences in methodology and definitions, these do not detract from a valid comparison being made here. The differences lie in counting hostel students separately compared with counting them as part of their families previously, and other such minor aspects.
