Jaipur: Charge against school for denying child from attending online class – Times of India

According to the complaint letter, the child was apparently removed from the school’s WhatsApp group and online classes since May 24 and the authorities were trying to give the student transfer certificate despite payment of fee.

The school, however, challenged these claims and Vikas Khandelwal, administrator, Vardhman International School said, “If a parent is paying the fees, then why would any school stop their children’s classes? This child was attending the classes. We have his attendance on Google also. And due to some technical flaws, he was not able to attend some classes. Nowadays, children are not regularly attending classes. And similarly, he was also off and on attending classes. It might be possible that his parents have deliberately not allowed him to login/attend the classes.” The school official said that they have received the fee and there is no issue from their end.

Few days back, the child body had also held a discussion with various schools and appealed to them to not deprive any student of education due to payment issues. Earlier this month, quashing the Rajasthan High Court order on school fees issued on October 28 last year, the Supreme Court on Monday directed the private unaided schools to charge 85% the annual school fees of 2019-20 for the 2020-21 academic year. It ordered reduction of 15% fees in lieu of unutilised facilities by students. The apex court also upheld the Rajasthan Schools (Regulation) Act 2016.
