“and embarrass those who can’t pay?”
So the choice is:
1) Put some people in a slightly embarrasing situation (although, most of the times you can figure out who can’t pay anyway based on parents occupation, number of kids in the family etc. Its not always, but its fairly easy.)
2) Sacrifice 2100 students.
Which is preferable?
Education is really more of a privelege than a right – especially because most parents are trained well enough to give their kids the basics.
