Indore: In the Covid-scenario, when schools have been closed and there’s no clarity on when the educational establishments will reopen and return to track as usual and online classes are the order of the day, District Collector Manish Singh held a meeting of school principals and directors of CBSE courses-run schools here on Friday.
He clearly stated that in the given situation, schools can’t charge any other fees except tuition fee from the parents. On the other hand, parents too can’t be allowed to misbehave with teachers and school staff.
After the meeting, held at collector office, talking to media Singh said Schools should not pressurize parents to buy copybooks and other educational material from any particular shop. Amid rising complaints of misbehaviour by parents with teachers and school staff, he said this has to stop.
