Nearly 50 parents on Wednesday met the police inspector and complained of harassment of their wards by school authorities.
A group of disgruntled parents on Wednesday submitted a complaint with the Ghatlodia police station against Calorx Public school for handing leaving certificates to some students and withholding results for non-payment of fees.
Nearly 50 parents on Wednesday met the police inspector and complained of harassment of their wards by school authorities. The parents even went to the District Primary Education Officer requesting him to take action against the school.
Speaking about the same, one of the parents said, "The school is violating all norms laid down by the Fee Regulatory Committee (FRC). At first, the school submitted wrong documents to the FRC. While they charge Rs 32,000 from us, they told the FRC that they charge Rs 52,000. The FRC then reduced the fees to Rs 32,000. We haven't received any real benefit from the FRC. As per the FRC order on February 26, the school had to immediately refund the admission fee charged from new students but the school has not yet returned the money. For one class, fees of all students differ."
"We are paying according to what FRC says but the school pressured and threatened students. Those who did not bow down were given the LC. In our application, we have demanded action against the school for giving LC to students, not following the FRC order on admission fee and for withholding the result."
Clarifying the school's stand, in an official statement, the authorities stated that the fees are being charged as per FRC guidelines. "These are a few troublesome parents who have not paid fees for the past two and three years. They are not paying the FRC-approved fees and want to pay only Rs 15,000, Rs 25,000 and Rs 27,000. We are continuing with our previous commitment since the beginning of this school eight years ago – discounted fees, which are even lower than fees approved by the FRC. The matter is still subjudice in Supreme Court."
