SFI supports students, parents

The SFI has extended support to the student-parent forum in its fight against the “arbitrary fee” being collected by private schools. The SFI said the full fee being charged by private schools in the time of pandemic amounted to exploitation of students and parents. The students’ body said the decision should immediately be rolled back as it adversely affected lakhs of students and their parents. With many people losing their livelihood during the pandemic, the decision to allow schools to charge the full fee was against the students.
