RANCHI/JAMSHEDPUR: Private schools in Ranchi and Jamshedpur have decided to hike their fees after giving it a miss for a year during the pandemic when the state government requested against it. Although very few schools have implemented the fee hike until now, parents’ bodies slammed the decision and said schools should have been more understanding given that several parents have either faced pay cuts or have lost their jobs during the pandemic.
When contacted, Don Bosco Public School, Kokar said they have increased the fees by Rs 1,000 for all students, while principal of Jawahar Vidya Mandir, Shyamli, Samarjit Jana said, “Since we had not increased the fees in 2020, there is all likelihood that it will be hiked by 10% this year keeping in view the norms.” He also added that the decision in this regard will be taken in a meeting scheduled in the coming days.
Most schools will not resume classes from Monday Process of seeking parents’ consent still on, association seeks meeting with govt
Several leading private schools of Ranchi will not be resuming regular classes for class 10 and class 12 from Monday as there is a lack of clarity on the number of parents who would be willing to send children to schools amid the Covid-19 pandemic.
Faculty members of Delhi Public School (DPS) and JVM Shyamli, two renowned Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE)-affiliated schools in the city, are holding online meetings with parents to seek their consent. But very few parents have agreed to send their children to school from Monday. Some students, who were staying outside Ranchi during the lockdown, are yet to return, while some parents have shown reluctance in sending children to school due to the fear of contracting Covid-19 infection.
