Parents protest as schools charge fees for unrest
The Parents’ Association today staged a protest near the residence of Education Minister Naeem Akhter at Parraypora in Srinagar, saying that the government was silent while the private schools were charging fees for the unrest months.
Parents’ Association president Feroz Ahmed Ganie and general secretary led the protests at Airport Road.
Holding placards which read “we want justice” and “fee for what?”, they demanded the fee for four months should be waived.
“On the one hand, the private schools association was claiming to support the ongoing agitation and on the other hand, it was fleecing parents by asking for fees for the months when no classes were held,” said the protesting parents.
The protesting parents said they had not earned a penny during these months, adding that the private schools want to burden them further by forcing them to pay the fees for the four months when normal life was paralysed across Kashmir.
