Surging private school fees spark protests in India
Private school fees in cities like Delhi have shot up—some by over 100% in just five years—leaving many families frustrated and worried.
Protests are growing, especially after stories like 14-year-old Aaditya Mattey, who was reportedly expelled when his dad pushed back against the hike.
TL;DR
Parents want stricter rules to prevent sudden increases

Schools say rising costs force their hand, but parents are pushing for stricter rules nationwide to stop sudden increases and prevent students from getting caught up in disputes.
