The education sector in Rawalpindi is facing a severe financial crisis due to the rising inflation rate. Prices of essential stationery goods have surged by an alarming 30% in the past three months. This has caused a great deal of financial hardship for students and their parents.
According to INP survey reports, the price of books from private schools has increased by 300 rupees, and even the most basic items, such as pencils, have doubled in price. The rising cost of papers has also compounded the problem.Parents are worried that the high cost of education will make it difficult for their children to continue their studies. They are calling on the government to take measures to control inflation and make education more affordable.—INP
