MANGALURU: While serpentine queues in front of private schools was a common sight during admissions earlier, it is different this year.
Private schools are losing out on admissions as parents, who wish to enroll their wards for Class 1, are waiting for fee issue to be resolved in the court. The government schools continue to have normal admissions.
Dakshina Kannada DDPI Malleswamy said the government directed schools to collect 70% tuition fee for 2019-2020 and adjust the amount next year if parents paid it in full. The decision for this year is still pending and the high court may decide the same in its next hearing on July 22. “As a result, many parents have adopted a wait and watch policy,” said Malleswamy. The academic year started with admission from June 15 and the last date is August 31.
