| Missionary school shows scant regard for HC directions | | Demands fee for months of September, October | | Early Times Report
Srinagar, Nov 6: Kashmir's first missionary school Tyndale Biscoe School is violating the court orders and the guidelines of Directorate of School Education by not only demanding fee from the students for the month of September and October but also directing class X students to appear for pre-Board examination on Friday November 7.
In wake of the recent unprecedented floods, the J&K High Court recently had directed management of all the education institutes not to charge tuition fee as well as bus fare from students for the month of September and October. However, giving a damn to the High Court orders, Biscoe school management is all busy in extracting fee from the students for the month of September and October. "I cleared the fee of my ward for the month of September and October as Biscoe school management has warned us that it will not allow students to sit in the examination until they don't pay their fee of these two months," the father of a class 10th student Muhammad Ahtisham saidadding that this school follow its own rules as according to him, the school management has access to corridors of power and easily violate all the rules and guidelines that comes from the top.
Reports said that almost all the students studying in the school have paid their pay as according to the students they were forced to do so.
"Leave aside the question of grabbing fee from the flood hit people, the school management has acted in an autocratic manner and has directed the class 10th class to appear in the pre-Board examination on Friday Novemeber 7. " I fail to understand what my kid is going to write in the examination as he has lost all the books and notes in floods. We shifted to Lal Bazar from Raj Bagh after floods devastated our house," Muhammad Maqbool, the father of another student said.. The students and parents who showed the pathetic condition of the classrooms and buildings of the school which remained submerged in water for 22 days said that there is lot of dirt present in the school and it is not hygienic for the students.
"Even the J&K government admitted before the High Court that schools re-opened in flood-hit areas of Kashmir are "hygienically unfit to function. When it is so then how come school management is forcing students to appear in the pre-Board examination," they told adding that on the performance of the pre-Board examination, students are entitled for the admissions in class 11th. The parents and students demanded the immediate cancellation of the pre-board examination and sought court intervention to stop school management for taking fee from the students.
Despite repeated efforts, no official from the school was ready to comment on the issue. |
