Independent Schools’ Federation of India is observing
a ‘token strike’ on Thursday against the district administration’s order to set
up the committee to scrutinise their accounts. The committee is to look into
the schools’ accounts and investigate other complaints forwarded by parents and
associations.
An association of private schools in Ghaziabad has
decided to shut nearly 128 schools on Thursday as a mark of protest against the
district administration’s decision to set up a committee to inquire into
allegations of the unjustified fee hike. The committee comprises the additional
district magistrate (finance), district inspector of schools and the basic
education officer.
The president of the Independent Schools’ Federation
of India (ISFI) on Wednesday submitted a memorandum to the district officials
and said that 128 private schools will observe a ‘token strike’ on Thursday
against the district administration’s order to set up the committee. The
committee is to look into the schools’ accounts and investigate other
complaints forwarded by parents and associations.

ReplyDeleteabout my education. Acquiring skills costs someone. How you go about becoming
educated requires diligence, and some luck. Meeting the right teachers, students and
content is often left to chance. Unfortunately school remains a business, one that no
one should depend entirely for a future. Education is an opportunity, not lifestyle guarantee.
