In this bite, we discuss the acute financial problems faced by private schools.
School is tough business. And, if it’s a private unaided school, the government isn’t going to support them either.
The pandemic has been pretty bad financially for a lot of professionals and industries. But, few have been hit as strong as the schooling sector. They are bleeding and nothing seems to be working to cauterize the wound.
A school has many fixed costs like:
Property Rent
Teacher’s Salary
Vehicle Insurance
EMI’s and many more.
These costs have mounted high and the income has dried up. Most schools report that they haven’t received even 5% of the fee that is due for the past year.
If the schools do not start re-opening soon, study estimates that almost 23% of the schools will have to shut shop.
This is specifically going to affect the lower-middle-income class’s education very badly. Its now or never for schools.
That’s our bit on today’s bite.
