What happened
In Iran, the Ministry of Education issued a directive capping tuition increases at private schools at 35% for the new academic year, though reports indicate this cap is not being observed, while families face severe financial strain due to soaring stationery prices and a plunging currency. Separately, the government in Bangladesh introduced an action plan to improve education quality, which includes implementing uniform lesson plans and establishing a code of conduct for teachers. In India, the Ministry of Education addressed the School Bag Policy, 2020, urging state governments to ensure no student carries a bag weighing more than ten per cent of their body weight.
Why it matters
These policy shifts directly impact the financial burden on families and the operational costs for educational institutions across different countries. The changes in tuition and fee caps, coupled with new quality and safety mandates, affect the demand for private education and the labor requirements of teachers.
