Many factory and mill workers in rural areas are also considering moving their children to government schools from private schools, especially when online class is the new norm.
COIMBATORE: A former ambulance driver, who is now nearly out of work as a concrete mixer truck driver, approached the collector on Monday stating that he had to pull his two children out of a private school because of his inability to pay the fees.
However, the two government schools he is now trying to admit them are demanding a transfer certificate, which the private school refuses to give without paying the due fees.
