All Parents Association Jammu is sitting on indefinite hunger strike from today onwards at exhibition ground in support of there demands regarding organised loot of private schools.
Private schools are openly violating the orders of education department many of journalists and media channels on live coverage has exposed the open loot of private schools but all going in vain as our Education department is not interested in the rights of parents instead they are only and only interested in there vested interest that is the “Attachiyon k Rishtey” with private school owners that is the why till now no action has been taken on any of the school and the private schools are forcing, harassing, pressurizing and emotionally blackmailing parents to submit the school fees other then tuition fees also and are also forcing parents to buy books from there blue eyed book vendors we are still ready to pay only 20% of the monthly tuition fees nothing more then that too for the sake of the salary of the teachers and other staff as they are also dependent on the tuition fees parents are not ready to fill the pockets of the profit making of the private school owners by buying books from there recommended book vendors and by paying whole tuition fees private school owners have become so shameless that they in this crisis are still looting the parents who are left with no money as businesses are closed salaries of private employees are not released so from where the parent will pay the fees to the schools
He further said that when state like Uttrakhand, Himachal and Punjab, Chennai can waive off the school fees for the Lockdown period then why our administration of JKUT can not waive off the school fees. He said that we are not against the school teachers as they are dependent on the school fees. Parents are willing to pay only 20 % of the monthly tuition fees so that the salaries of the teacher can be paid. Amit kapoor urged the govt. of JKUT should act fast before its too late.
Amit kapoor appealed parents to dont pay any kind of school fees and dont buy any school books yet.
Following are our demands:-
1) IMPLEMENT THE RIGHT TO EDUCATION ACT (RTE) AT THE EARLIEST.
2) WAIVE OFF THE FEES DURING COVID19 PANDEMIC PERIOD.
3)WAIVE OFF THE ANNUAL CHARGES FOR THE CURRENT ACADEMIC YEAR.
4)CBSE AND JKBOSE BOOKS SHOULD BE PRESCRIBED ONLY.
5)AUDIT REPORT OF LAST 5 YEARS OF ALL THE SCHOOLS SHOULD BE MADE PUBLIC.
