Daijiworld Media Network -Bengaluru (SP)

Bengaluru, Nov 26: The Association of Managements of Primary and Secondary Schools in Karnataka (KAMS) has warned the government that the private schools will stop online classes from November 30 in respect of students who have not paid the fee.

It may be recalled that the minister for primary and secondary education, S Suresh Kumar, had warned the schools not to stop education in respect of students who have defaulted on fee payment. He had warned that schools violating this instruction will be dealt with sternly.

The Association has pointed out that the schools find it hard to run the schools as they are compelled to meet power bills, water, payment to staff and teachers etc. It said that unless the parents make payment of pending fee, online classes of such students will have to be suspended. KAMS secretary D Shashikumar, said that many parents have not been paying the fee of their children for the past eight months. He said that because of this, it has become very difficult to manage the schools. "We had requested the parents several times to pay the fee but there is no response. Therefore, we have no option but to take this step," he reasoned.

Even though there is government order, parents of students studying in private unaided schools have not paid the fee. About 50 to 60 percent of parents have kept the fee pending. But they are getting online education from June till now. Problem has been created due to contradictory statements issued by education minister. The parents and children are encouraged by the statement that the children would be promoted even if the fee is not paid. The children believe that they can pass even if they do not pay the fee, Shashikumar said, and condemned the irresponsible statement without taking responsibility for paying salary of teachers and meeting other expenses involved in running the schools.

Shashikumar said that unlike some prestigious schools at which the minister's statement appears to target, their schools are budget schools which are dependent on fee to meet day-to-day expenses. He said that it is hard not to bring pressure on the parents not paying the fee. He added that students who do not pay fee will be kept outside the ambit of online teaching.

    Majority of Private schools collect huge amount of donation when the parent will take admission for LKG. Each child will be studying in the same school for 10 years, so calculate the fees it is huge amount.
    Donation is collected for the development of the buildings, is the building and lavish infrastructure is important or the education of the child is important. Every Private school think in terms of betterment of the education of the child. If they provide free education for 1 years it is not going to affect much because for primary children only the homework and notes is been sent. The teacher is not teaching the child, where as parents are sending their children for tuition or recruiting tutors, who will charge huge fees, will the school management will bare this fees, If they need fees let them collect 50% of the fees. Because of Covid parents are struggling to meet the daily expenses. Government and Politicians should take initiative and grant fund for the students who are having finance problem.

    How parents can pay fees when business is closed, we are paying our employees in pandemic even if we can not open our business. Schools are also doing business. Schools are developed by parents money so far. Every one lost during pandemic, so schools to should bear the loss instead of emotionally blackmailing parents. This is mafia tactics. Because of this mafia corruption is not stopping in India.

    all schools should be kept open and teachers should be present... in addition to online classes, students should have the option to come to school and discuss doubts or any further help in studies in the classroom. Teachers should organise the timings and batch size of these interactions so as to ensure physical distancing in the classroom.

    Many parents have hired home tutors for helping the children at home, at high fee per session. That is why they are unable to pay school fees. Their children given feedback that online classes not helping them.

    Teachers be it in school , pre university and professional colleges are overburdened. When students listen to class at the comfort of their homes, they report to work. It's very easy to nag and insult . Don't forget even teachers are humans and they too deserve full pay. I am not saying that some have lost the jobs. But those who insult teachers just look at all schools and colleges across DK district, 100% staff is working. Be grateful, they are risking their lives and going to workplace and taking up classes. I think they too deserve pay and they too have a right. Most people commenting against schools and colleges, put yourself in the teachers shoes and then talk.

    We should also think from the teacher's part also. The workload with online classes are much more than the regular classes. At the same time they are not proper salary too bcoz of fee default

    Keep the situation in mind and write. Online classes are as an alternative used to deliver classes at this pandemic. Your reasoning power is far behind reality.

    The private schools cant sustain long enough by providing education for free. When i was in school, some people could not afford the fees , so the students of that particular class pitched in enough amount to pay off the boy's fees. This was how it happened in our school . I know few wealthy parents who paid the fees of 5-6 students . I hope that in such a case ,people who are financially stable help other students who wont be able to afford the fees.

    You clearly don't know how things work. Teachers are provided laptop and internet in most schools for online classes. In mobile No teacher tales class cause it's not possible. Did I provide your smartphone? God has given parents for some reason. Your child is not the societies responsibility it's all yours

    What the poor middle class students whose parents are jobless, salary slashed, were not paid for 5 months, or are coolie workers do? Who will give them loans?

    So many people are struggling to pay EMIs as 6 months loan moratorium is over!

    Let government pay. Even our education sector has to survive. Your so called government schools never ever thrive for development. Today people who have studied in government schools not at all preferred in many of the MNC's too thinking that their base is Kannada or state language and hence they will be grammatically poor. The importance of learning in good schools only will understand 90% people who are suffering from getting educated in government and other tier 3 institutions. All MNCs prefer candidate profile from Tier 1 institutions. I agree that maximum we may get 10% people who have succeeded after getting educated in government schools. But that extraordinary skills we have only 4-5%. We are under lockdown and struggling to survive and paying everywhere to the government in terms of tax. Let it pay.
    The bad shape of India is we are concerned only wih religion issues and never bothered about our development. We are moving again to 1947.

    We cannot compel private schools to give education for free. How they will pay salaries and other expenses?

    Instead Govt before issuing order to school should make arrangement for reimbursement to school to give free education to poor. This should be done on pure economic criteria.
