Tuition fees and the evaluation process
THERE is no need to be always optimistic, and think that everything around us is rosy, as if there were no problems at all. Instead, we should try to be practical.
Look at things in a practical manner. Like at what was published in the newspapers yesterday, that private schools requesting an increase in tuition fees should submit certificates of evaluation of their premises and services provided in the schools along with the application for seeking a hike in tuition fees.
This attaches a certain importance to the evaluation process in as much as seeking and actually getting an approval for the proposed hike depends on that evaluation. But doesn't this also give the impression that the Ministry of Education has somehow overlooked the fact that this evaluation would be the handiwork of the school managements themselves, they would be the judges of whether their schools merited a hike in tuition fees or not. And the 'not' is never going to be an outcome in all such cases.
The right thing is the Ministry should have the power to evaluate and give marks to each school, such as 'good', 'very good' and 'excellent'.
By the same token, another matter that should be set right is the Ministry's decision to give only two officials the authority to evaluate the schools without assistance from others who are more technically qualified, and who would also be fair in their assessment.
We believe this isn't going to work to the satisfaction of all.
Tuition fees cannot be separated from the family budget. And families do give it priority over other expenses including those incurred on food and medicines. But that also means that schools should hike tuition fees only if there was a matching increase in the kind of services of given.
