The issue could be a matter of outrage, though, here in India the FOMO by parents (and students) is rather structural - been on since forever whether it is likes of Aptech/NIIT since late 90s.

Here are some pointers: High-school science grds that seek STEM undergrad education in India is over 5-million annually. Commerce & Humanities is looked down upon as barely has any value in terms career prospects (Some top high-schools don't even offer Humanities). For STEM subjects, over 5-million aspirants compete for less than 100K 'meaningful' seats - cuthroat yet?

FOMO in the failed education system is structural. Else to blame companies from byjus, to unacademy, to upgrad, all of which claim to deliver on "Career Changing Education" at high-markups, is lame!
