Many parents fear that online
education may be too costly. But is it really? When you consider the
amounts you spend sending your child to a coaching class - anywhere
from Rs 5,000 to Rs 12,000 for two subjects - plus the cost of travel,
guides, self-study books etc., then a compassbox.com membership is
ridiculously low.
As a parent who is devoted to providing his or her child the best
and most meaningful education, you will have realized that computers
are already an indispensable part of life. They are definitely worth
the investment, today.
What's more, the prices of computers are coming down drastically,
and so is the cost of connectivity. Some internet subscriptions are
already virtually free, and many banks and financial institutions
are offering affordable and attractive installment schemes. And of
course, there are cyber cafes mushrooming everywhere, charging as
low as Rs 15 per hour for accessing the Internet. |
