Delhi Man Pays Rs 4.3 Lakh for Son's Playschool Fees, Says 'More Than My Entire Education'

Right after a Gurugram resident voiced his concerns about his son’s soaring school fees, a father from Delhi stepped up to share the hefty bill for his son’s playschool. Posting about paying Rs. 4.3 lakhs for his little one’s early education, he stirred up quite a storm of shock and laughter online.

“My son’s Playschool fee is more than my entire education expense,” wrote Akash Kumar on ‘X.’ Accompanied by a screenshot breaking down the fees into four terms along with registration and annual charges, the total reached a staggering Rs. 4,30,000. Imagine, a tot who’s just learning to walk is being schooled at a rate higher than what some freshers earn today!

“I hope vo ache se khelna seekhle yaha!” joked Kumar, pointing out the absurdity of such a high fee for ‘playing’. Soon, the post spread like wildfire, sparking a flurry of comments.

“I hope he becomes Virat Kohli,” quipped one user. “That’s exorbitant. Every grain of sand in that playground better be edible lol,” added another. The third chimed in, “With this much money I had completed my school, diploma and engineering studies…” The fourth, keeping the humour rolling, exclaimed, “This one has to be the best contraceptive ad!”

In the midst of the banter, there were some who struck a more serious note with one advising, “Note to parents: if you can, ask the teacher’s of these institutions, how much they are getting paid per month. Having talked to a few, even DPS teachers in delhi get 30-35K per month and most of them are on contract.”

“It’s not the school to be blamed but the parents who want their kids to perform like a superhuman in all fields at whatever the cost may be. Finally, it’s the Home where a kid spends max time and learns the basic ethics, moral education which is not taught in any of the institutes,” opined another.
