Hyderabad:
With support coming from various quarters, the School Fee Regulation
JAC has decided to up the ante in the coming days. Two protests have
been planned on May 25 and June 11 to mount pressure on the government
to regulate private schools collecting exorbitant fees, especially in
twin cities.
JAC secretary Nagati Narayana stated that nearly 20 organisations
such as Youth for Better Hyderabad, Janavani, Sadhana, Child Rights
Protection Forum had joined the joint action committee to support the
fight for reasonable fees.
Political parties too have offered to take up the issue.
At their meeting on Monday, the JAC members reviewed the activities
taken up in the last two-and-a-half months and charted their future
course of action. Mr Narayana criticised the government for not
addressing the issue which was discussed at length during the Assembly
Budget Session.
“A protest will be held at Commissionerate of School Education on
Wednesday. A mahadharna will be conducted on June 11 at Indira Park just
before reopening of schools. It is time government addresses this issue
with top priority,” he said.
