84% of parents fear that education expenses will increase due to inflation

As the start of the school year approaches, Santander Consumer Bank decided to ask Poles how they approach the issue of education spending. In the case of parents of students, as many as 84 percent said they are afraid of an increase in these costs. They are most concerned about higher prices for additional textbooks and exercise books, as well as additional extracurricular activities.

The concern may be all the greater because more than half of those surveyed who have school-age children intend to cover the expenses of student layette from current income (58 percent).  

"Parents surveyed by IBRiS on behalf of our bank indicated that they are most concerned about increased costs associated with the purchase of additional textbooks and exercise books (22 percent), the cost of extracurricular activities and school supplies (both 18 percent)," Magdalena Grzelak, Spokesperson from Santander Consumer Bank, said.
