The burden of summer vacation fees is too much for low-income families, making it difficult for parents who are struggling to make ends meet. Despite the absence of educational activities during vacations, parents are still required to pay a fee for those months as well, exacerbating their financial hardships. This is an unfair and unnecessary burden imposed by private-sector schools on underprivileged parents.
It is imperative for the government to acknowledge this pressing issue and provide some relief to parents dealing with this issue. By doing so, they can ensure that students of all backgrounds have equal access to education.
