New Delhi, Aug. 30 -- A Reddit post by a Bengaluru parent has reignited debate over the skyrocketing cost of education in India. The user claimed that a pre-nursery admission estimate shared by a school pegged the annual expense for a toddler at around Rs.1.85 lakh.

According to the post, the breakdown included a Rs.5,000 registration fee, Rs.28,240 for consumables (payable in two instalments), Rs.91,200 for June to November, and another Rs.60,800 for the rest of the year.

"Is this reasonable for a toddler to be charged for pre-school in Bangalore? What are your thoughts, and what would be a reasonable cost?" the user asked on the r/bangalore subreddit, also questioning whether such high fees were justified.
