However, middle income group guardians said they were struggling to manage the educational expenses as English medium schools were increasing the admission fee every year. 

'Every year, the admission fee and tuition fee are increasing in English medium schools but our income has not increased during this time. If the trend keeps up, it will go beyond the capacity of middle income group,' said Abdul Halim, a guardian whose child reads in Maple Leaf International School.    

The admission fee is Tk 80,000 at Scholastica School while Maple Leaf International School charges Tk 36,366 including one month's tuition fee for the admission in standard I. The admission fee is Tk 14,000 at Academia while it is Tk 28,000 at London Grace International School.
