Imphal, July 01 2020:
The Chandel District Private Schools' Forum (CDPSF) has strongly opposed the order issued by the Education Department directing private schools to waive off students' fees but pay the teachers' salaries and appealed to the Government to revoke/review the order.
It a statement issued by CDPSF, it stated that the order is prejudiced and has not taken into consideration the plight of the schools.
In terms of the private schools in Chandel and Tengnoupal districts, the schools are managed by minimal admission and tuition fees from the students, considering the economic status of the parents/guardians, which is just enough to sustain the school.
However, the directive of the Government cannot be upheld at this time as the income of the schools are nil, it added.
For the stated reasons, CDPSF has endorsed the press release by UARSoM and appealed the Government to review/revoke the order of private schools will be compelled to shut down all its activities.
