Ahlcon public school Fee Increase Petition

We, the undersigned parents and guardians of students attending Ahlcon Public School, hereby express our collective concern and dissatisfaction regarding the recent increase in school fees with retrospective effect from last year. We respectfully request a reconsideration of this decision for the following reasons:

1. **Unilateral Fee Increases:** The school has been implementing annual fee increases without any transparent basis or meaningful consultation with parents. This lack of communication and collaboration undermines the trust between the school administration and the parent community.

2. **Retrospective Effect:** Last year, the school imposed arrears, and this year, without prior notification or discussion, the fees have been increased retroactively. This sudden financial burden creates undue stress and uncertainty for families who were not prepared for such unexpected expenses.

3. **Lack of Infrastructure Upgrades:** Despite the consistent fee hikes, the infrastructure and facilities at the school have not seen significant improvements. The condition of classrooms, student benches, and other essential amenities remains subpar, failing to justify the increased financial burden placed on parents.

4. **Financial Burden on Parents:** The continuous escalation of school fees exceeds the general inflation rate of the country, making it increasingly difficult for parents to sustain the financial obligations associated with their children's education. This disparity between fee increases and the economic realities faced by families exacerbates financial strain and compromises the accessibility of quality education.

5. **Additional Fees for Activities:** Any supplementary activities or programs offered to students are consistently accompanied by additional fees, further burdening parents and limiting students' participation in extracurricular opportunities.

6. **Comparison with Comparable Schools:** We have conducted thorough comparisons with other schools of similar standards and demographics, revealing that the current fee structure at [Your School Name] is already higher than many of its counterparts. This disproportionate fee scale puts an undue financial strain on families without commensurate improvements in educational quality or resources.

In light of the aforementioned concerns, we respectfully urge the school administration to reconsider the decision to increase fees retrospectively and to engage in open dialogue with parents regarding future fee adjustments. We believe that collaborative decision-making and transparent communication are essential to maintaining a strong partnership between the school and the parent community.

Thank you for your attention to our concerns, and we look forward to a constructive resolution that prioritizes the best interests of the students and their families.

Sincerely,

Anshul jain & Shweta Jain
