I help my Mam every year when it comes to get school stuff, and always notice how it costs a huge amount of money. So, so far we have only just got stationary (pens, pencils, copies etc.) and that came up to â¬150 ($200) for 5 kids, we also got the books needed for my smallest sister who is just starting school, these came up to â¬90 ($120) and her uniform came up to about â¬50 ($66). In Ireland, there are very few private schools and whether you are in a private or public school, you have to wear a uniform. About 99% are Catholic schools I'd say. We still have to get books for two other kids, luckily I am going into my last year of school and don't need anymore books except one, I can carry on books from last year that cost about â¬200 ($265). Also, one of my other brothers that is in Secondary school (High school) can carry on his books too that came up to about â¬300 ($498).
It will cost around â¬1000 ($1,327) to have everything everyone needs to go back to school and when we get back, the teachers will want us to buy all other sorts of things. Thank God you can get decent free education here, hardly anyone goes to private school. To get the things for school is expensive enough!
How much does it cost where you are?
