Subject: Concerning Excessive Annual Fee Increments

We, the undersigned parents and guardians of students at C.S Academy, Coimbatore, strongly oppose the significant annual increase in school fees. Over the past years, these frequent and substantial hikes have placed an unfair financial burden on families, making it increasingly difficult to afford quality education.

While we acknowledge that operational costs may rise, the lack of transparency in these annual fee revisions is concerning. Many families are struggling to keep up with these escalating costs, which risks making education at C.S Academy inaccessible to deserving students.

We respectfully urge the management to take the following actions:

1. **Fee Stability:** Implement a fair and predictable fee structure, avoiding excessive annual hikes. It is essential for parents to have clear visibility into the trend of the fee structure and anticipated hike rates for the next 3–5 years, ensuring transparency and preventing unexpected financial burdens.

2. **Transparency:** Provide a clear and detailed breakdown justifying any fee increase, along with a formal consultation process involving parents.

3. **Financial Consideration:** Introduce affordability measures such as installment payment options and reasonable caps on fee increments.

4. **Parental Involvement:** Establish a parent-school committee to discuss financial decisions affecting school fees and overall educational quality.

Education should not become a privilege only for the few who can afford constant fee hikes. We request C.S Academy, Coimbatore, to reconsider its approach and work collaboratively with parents to find a reasonable and sustainable solution that ensures financial fairness without compromising educational excellence.

Sincerely,
