JAMMU, Oct 15: All Parents Association Jammu today protested in front of Press Club, Jammu in support of their demands and against alleged organized loot by private schools in connivance with Directorate of School Education (DSE), Jammu in the name of tuition fee.
Association alleged 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 there 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. Parents are not in a position to fill pockets of profit making private schools,” said Association president Amit Kapoor. He said that the school owners have become so ruthless that they in this crisis are still looting the parents who are left with no money as businesses are closed salaries of private employees are not released.
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. He said that we are not against the school teachers as they are dependent on the school fees. Parents are willing to pay only 20 % of the monthly tuition fees towards salaries of the teacher can be paid.
Amir Kapoor urged the Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha, to hear the voice of parents of wards of Jammu. We are been harassed by private schools with the help of government authorities be it DSE, Commissioner Secretary or Advisor to Governor. While it is the responsibility of Government to protects rights of pupils and their wards, our Government is nurturing and feeding private schools, he added. He demanded that no schools should be allowed to open till vaccine or any sure treatment for COVID-19 is available.
