Parents of those students who are studying in Beaconhouse school system protested today at Beaconhouse regional office near Tipu Sultan Road, Karachi
People commented on social media regarding the protest:
Best protest is to take your kids out … why do you have to be slave to an education institute .. Why are people so obsessed with the idea of these so called “Designer” schools ? People need to give them a reality check and stop going beyond their means to satisfy the coffers of these schools.
The private schools are a way of looting people .
The only solution is to leave this following a crowd blindly policy and its time to revive our own schooling system. We still have institutions like St. Patricks, Habib Public, Dawood public, Adamjee Science college and others. Including myself no one is ready to send their children there. Education system has collapsed badly and we as parents are equally responsible for this. These schools are commercial ventures and we are fully supporting them in milting money.

I think parents should demand subsidy from government for beaconhouse so their children can still get education in such a renowned institution.
Till the time government take action to make Government schools better for education. Private School owners keep looting parent.
If parents cannot offered the kind of education Beacon House is offering then they can always go for cheaper options because they are not the sector they are catering to.
Beacon House (A private Institute) has every right to raise their fee however much they want. These parents should be doing a protest infront of the PM House because the government is responsible for not having a high standard for public education .
I don’t think you’re aware of the law. The law says an institution which is registered as an NGO, cannot increase its fees more than 5% in a single year. Schools such as BeaconHouse, FPS, TCS, and HSS, do not comply to this law.
Yes they are looting but we parents are the part of this issue. We are deliberately crazy to run behind these schools. We are shopping education at our own desecration. Majority childrens belong to ruler and elite class so they dont need to protest. Only solution is dropout your childrens and get admission in “peela school” so standard of these school can be improved.
Education mafia.. Parents simply pull off ur children to other schools! Y do they have to follow the bandwagon !
In August 2017 Foundation Public School (FPS) also faced protest of parents. those parents also protested because of increase in tuition fees.
