As back-to-school essentials shopping is picking up pace with reopening of the educational institutions in the country
ISLAMABAD: after summer vacations, parents are grappling with the higher prices on all the essential school items.
“I have spent around Rs 20,000 to purchase the textbooks and notebooks for my son promoted in Grade-III while the stationary, uniform and other essential stuff are still to be purchased which I will buy on weekend as the students can wear colored clothes during the first week”, Hammad Ali, a parent of two said.
“Not only the parents have to buy all the stationary themselves but these schools also grab annual charges for stationary too in the name of art work, overburdening the parents”, she observed. Tahir Mehmood, who is associated with the profession of teaching for a long time, said that parents already struggling amid rising inflation and facing a cost of living are forced to pay high prices of the essential school items of their kids.He said that back-to-school shopping is really stressful for them but they have to pay as being parents they consider these items as an essential category in their shopping list.
