UA few months before the academic year ends, some schools make parents commit to the next year. If you plan to withdraw your child, you must pay extra for the Transfer Certificate (TC). If you first agree to stay but later decide to leave, you could end up paying 40–50% of next year’s fees. And if you decide to stay, you often have to pay next year’s fees far too early.
**Why This Feels Unfair**
1. **Makes Parents Choose Profit Over Their Child’s Needs** Parents are pressured to stick with the same school to avoid steep penalties, even if a different school might be better for their child.
2. **Forces Early Decisions** You have to decide months in advance — even though many things could change in that time. This isn’t just about money; it’s about having real options for your child’s future.
3. **Penalizes You for Changing Your Mind** Life can be unpredictable. If you commit to staying and later need to shift schools, the heavy penalty feels like a punishment for wanting the best for your child.
4. **Adds Financial Strain** Education expenses are already high. Demanding fees far in advance — or charging extra for leaving — only piles on more stress for parents.**Legal Angle: Where Do We Stand?**
