One of the things that always raise and will never goes down is school fee. When I was in Primary school, I remember the school fee is at IDR.20.000 per month and it raise IDR.5.000 every year. That is more than 10 years ago. Nowadays I have to add another zero at the back of that numbers.

Yesterday I went to Yang Lim Plaza with mum and bro. There was an event held by Success English course. We asked about the Toefl (Test of English as a Foreign Language) course since my bro is planning to study overseas. To my surprise, 6 months of Toefl Basic course is at IDR.1.200.000, excluded books and registration fee. One year Toefl course is at IDR.2million++. While the fee for Toefl test is at USD150.

I think it is 2 times the price when I took the course 5 years ago. The Toefl fee is at USD100 if I not mistaken. I didn’t expect it to raise so fast. Gosh. Education is not cheap.
