Hopefully the additional 20% doesn’t deter people further.

Education inflation and health care inflation in our country have gone up 2-3 times faster then average prices.

Salaries, building costs and utilitieshave not gone up at this rate so it has to be extra services which make our education system spend each year more then the pace of inflation.

Therefore maybe we should look at probably increased buerocracy, social services and other non educational items in the spending budgets and cut these first before we increase tuitions by close to 20%..

I for one do not get a 20% hike in salary and the average joe if he is lucky sees a 1-3% increase in wages,,, so maybe it is time to cut fat before it becomes unaffordable for us to send out kids to school.
