JAMMU, June 30: In a joint meeting, representatives of private schools affiliated to CBSE and JKBOSE today formed a body under the name and style ‘United Schools Organization, Jammu’ to spearhead the struggle collectively against the wrong polices of the Government and other bodies which has created a misconception among the parents of the students of private schools and has led to the current chaotic situation in the region.
At the outset, the meeting deliberated on the issues being faced by private schools as a result of various orders/ advisories issued by the J&K Government. It was discussed that despite the orders issued, parents are reluctant to pay fee to the schools while all the schools are conducting online classes for the students even though there are numerous connectivity issues.
Showing anguish, the members said that due to the repeated unwanted letters and advisories for the private schools of Jammu division by the Education Department, even those parents who are employed in Government/Semi- Government sector or parents who have been running shops of essential commodities and opened their businesses in “Unlock 1.0” have not paid any heed to deposit of tuition fee till now.
“This has led to situation of total chaos and if not addressed on priority, it will lead to the collapse of the private education system in the UT,” the representatives of private schools said.
The meeting was jointly organized by the J&K Private Schools Association headed by Kamal Gupta, J&K Private Schools Coordination Committee headed by Rameshwar Manhas and Forum of CBSE Unaided Schools headed by Dr Adit Gupta.
