| Pvt Schools indulging in organized loot, Govt unconcerned: Parents Association | | | 
EARLY TIMES REPORT
JAMMU, Dec 1: All Parents Association Jammu alleged that private schools are indulging in organized loot in the name of tuition fee in connivance with the Directorate of School Education (DSE), Jammu.
Addressing a press conference here today, Association president Amit Kapoor said that private schools are openly violating the orders of DSE, despite many journalists and media channels have exposed the open loot of private schools. All this going in vain as our Government is not interested in protecting rights of parents instead they are only and only interested in maintaining their vested interests from private school owners.
He said that the private schools are forcing, harassing, pressurizing and emotionally blackmailing parents to submit the complete school fees and are also forcing parents to buy books from their blue eyed book vendors.
We are still ready to pay only 20% of the monthly tuition fees, nothing more than that too for the sake of the salary of the teachers and other staff as they are also dependent on the tuition fees. He further said that when states like Gujarat, Kolkata and many other states can waive off the school fees for the lockdown period and reduced fee afterwards, then why administration of UT of J&K cannot waive-off school fees.
Kapoor urged the Lieutenant Governor (LG), Manoj Sinha, to hear the voice of parents of wards of Jammu.
He said if our demands are not met, all the parents of Jammu Kashmir will be on the roads with only our Government to blame. He also appealed to parents to don’t pay any kind of school fees till further orders by the Government. |
