Parents up in arms over pre-school fee hikes

Upset with frequent fee hikes by childcare centres and kindergartens, a group of parents have started a petition urging the authorities to step in.

They are calling on the authorities to form a committee to oversee fee adjustments, and limit such increases to only once every two years.

These parents said the fee hikes - which can go up to hundreds of dollars - can be a financial burden on them.

They are especially upset with fee increases during the school year, which leave them little choice but to pay up to avoid the hassle of finding a new school.

'No matter what the reason is, this price increase is unfair as parents would find it near impossible to refuse to submit to such a sudden move.'
