今天刚刚看到的新闻说私校都要在2007年涨学费了，这对于准备送孩子去私校的家长又是一个坏消息
送子女上私校先筹27万 专家提醒家长尽早存钱
据1月16日墨尔本大报《The Age》报道，大部份打算送孩子入私校读书的家长对这部份开支估计不足，一份问卷调查显示有些家长甚至少算了$10万元。
一份联邦银行的问卷调查发现，55%打算送孩子读私立小学和中学的家长认为整个费用不会超过$15万，但著名智库澳大利亚学会的数据却显示这笔费用可能高达$27万元。
根据问卷的调查结果，家长估计私立教育的费用平均在$15.2万元。
这份问卷访问了403对最近有孩子的家长，发现其中47%认为孩子的教育费用是一个很大的经济问题。大部份家长认为孩子读完中学后需要更多开支。 91%受访者希望孩子接受更高教育，77%的家长表示对子女的高等教育将由自己支付全部或部分费用。
尽管大部分澳洲人打算靠节省服装化妆品、家庭旅游和房屋改建扩建等其它开支来留出子女的教育费用，但也有18%表示不打算省钱预备学费。
联邦银行财务规划部经理Tim Gunning说，家长需要为孩子的教育准备资金，这可能是除房屋抵押贷款外最大的一笔家庭开销。
“我们要强调尽早存钱，特别是孩子不只一个的情况下。”Gunning说。
New parents underestimate school costs
January 16, 2007 - 12:44PM
Most parents who plan to send their children to private schools underestimate the costs, some by as much as $100,000, a survey has shown.
A Commonwealth Bank survey found 55 per cent of parents who expect to send their child to private primary and secondary schools, believe it will cost less than $150,000.
But figures from independent think-tank the Australia Institute show that higher fees, which can be up to $270,000, are set to become commonplace, the bank said.
The average cost new parents expected to pay for private education was $152,000.
The survey, of 403 parents who had recently had a child, found 47 per cent of parents did not feel financially well prepared to meet the costs of educating their child.
And most parents expected to be up for more expenses after their child finished high school.
Of the 91 per cent who wanted their child to go on to higher education, 77 per cent said they were planning to pay all or part of their higher education expenses.
While most Australians said they would make sacrifices to meet the costs of education by spending less on items such as clothes and cosmetics, family holidays and home renovations, 18 per cent said they didn't expect to make any sacrifices at all.
Commonwealth Bank financial planning general manager Tim Gunning said parents needed to get the right advice about saving for their children's education, which can be the second largest expense for a family after a mortgage.
"We can't stress how important it is to start saving early - especially if they have more than one child," he said. © 2007 AAP
