At the same time, the cost of school education is increasing rapidly due to the growing demand for an advanced curriculum of international standards and technology driven teaching methodology. As per ASSOCHAM, the school fee of a single child per annum has risen from Rs. 55,000 in 2005 to Rs. 1,25,000 in 2015. Sharp increase in school education costs in metros has made bulk fee payments very difficult for parents. On the other hand, schools find it difficult to offer monthly payment options to parents due to administrative and operational expenses. To tackle concerns around effective management of rising school fees in today\u2019s date and time, Avanse and EarlySalary conceptualized, developed and launched the \u2018FeES\u2019 solution to provide the much needed funding to parents and solve the problem of cash flows for schools. Avanse and Early Salary will be working towards tying-up with over 500 schools in one year.<\/p>\n<p>Commenting on the announcement Akshay Mehrotra, Co-Founder &amp; CEO of EarlySalary said, \u201cFinest education should be the most important prerogative for a parent.

We understand that every parent would definitely want to give the best opportunities for studies to their kids. Hence, this tie-up is in sync with our vision of solving parent\u2019s common problem of managing their kid\u2019s school fees. We are really optimistic about this partnership and are aiming to reach out to 100,000 fathers and mothers within the next 18 months\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Commenting on the partnership, Amit Gainda, CEO, Avanse Financial Services Ltd. said, \u201cAvanse is glad to partner with EarlySalary to launch \u2018FeES\u2019, a unique school fee management solution that makes it extremely convenient for parents to digitally secure instant education loans for school fees and repay through effective EMI options.
