NOIDA: A Class 7 student of a Noida school was allegedly barred from online classes and removed from the class WhatsApp group for not paying fees during the lockdown.
Similar treatment was also claimed to have been meted out to a Class 8 student of a major school in Ghaziabad. She too was allegedly stopped from attending e-classes. She failed to pay the fees after her father lost his job.
A government order issued during the lockdown had stated that schools cannot stop online classes over non-payment of fees. However, many parents have lodged complaints with the education officers of Noida and Ghaziabad claiming their wards were denied classes.
