Parents want private schools to announce vacations, reduce fees
July 2, 2021
PESHAWAR: Parents of students studying at private schools staged a demonstration outside Peshawar Press Club on Thursday, asking for relief in education fees due to the coronavirus pandemic and summer holidays for their children.
Led by the parents’ union president Alamzeb Khan, former PPP MPA Mehar Sultana, legal advisor Abbas Sangeen advocate and spokesman Shahid Niazi, the protestors while carrying banners and placards urged the government to solve their problems.
The speakers deplored the issuance of two kinds of notifications by the so-called champions of “one Pakistan” regarding the summer vacations for the students. They said it was astonishing that the government schools were closed for vacations but private schools were allowed to continue classes for children.
