Tuition is a fee paid for instruction or teaching, usually for higher education. Many students need to get part-time jobs to pay their college tuition. The word tuition comes from the Anglo-French word tuycioun, meaning "protection, care, custody." It was interesting to note that the ‘Sri Lankan Entrepreneur of the Year’ was awarded to a higher education institute. This was even more interesting as I recalled what one of my colleagues asked me recently: “When I did A/Ls 30 years ago I had to pay Rs. 20 per month for a mass tuition class. Today my son goes for a mass tuition class and the fee is Rs. 2,000 per month. When his son goes for a mass class, say in another 30 years, would he have to pay Rs. 200,000 per month?”
