Raising voice against the fee hike, parents took rallies across different states on Sunday.
While parents clashed with police during deomnstration in Gurugram, Mohali Parents’ Association took out protest rally and clashed with police across different states.
While the protestors demanded action against the school managements which have hiked the fees, the MPA members will now meet the education department officials and submit a memorandum.
The protest comes after the Punjab government passed a law which restricted the hike of school fees to 8 per cent. The UT Administration has no such laws to regulate the fee hike. After the Punjab decision, the UT Administration moved a file that the Punjab law should be adopted by Chandigarh as well.
“All the schools except Paragon School have hiked the fees. They have almost doubled the fees. All the parents cannot afford to pay such high fees. So the fee hike decision should be rolled back,” said Raj Kumar, the president of the association.
