🎓 Why Most Parents Struggle with Child Education Planning?

Vinod Choudhary

Every parent dreams of giving their child the best education possible—be it top schools, coaching classes, or international degrees. But let’s face it—education costs are skyrocketing! If you don’t plan smartly, you might end up compromising on your child’s future or taking on heavy loans.


💰 The Harsh Reality of Education Costs

  • School Fees: ₹1-5 lakh per year for a good private school

  • Coaching & Extracurriculars: ₹50,000-₹2 lakh per year

  • Undergraduate Degree (India): ₹10-25 lakh

  • Studying Abroad: ₹50 lakh-₹1.5 crore


And let’s not forget inflation—education costs double every 8-10 years. What seems affordable today might be unreachable tomorrow.


📉 Why Most Parents Struggle with Education Planning

They Start Too Late – Many parents delay investing, assuming they’ll "manage it later.” But later = higher costs & financial stress.

Relying on FDs & Savings – Traditional options like FDs give only 5-6% returns, while education inflation grows at 8-10% per year. This means your savings lose value over time.

No Goal-Based Investment – Parents often save randomly, rather than investing in a structured way for education.

Emergency Fund vs. Education Fund Mix-up – Many dip into education savings for short-term needs, leading to a fund shortage later.


📢 The Smarter Way: Invest in Mutual Funds via SIPs

If you start early and invest wisely, you can secure your child’s future without financial stress.


How Much Should You Invest?

  • If your child is 1-5 years old: Start a SIP of ₹5,000-₹10,000 per month in equity mutual funds.

  • f your child is 6-10 years old: Invest ₹10,000-₹20,000 per month in a mix of equity & hybrid funds.

  • If your child is 11-15 years old: Prioritize low-risk investments like debt funds for stability.

  • Example: A ₹10,000 SIP for 15 years at 12% returns can grow into ₹50+ lakh—enough for an Indian private college or even studying abroad!
