Chennai: Parents protest against private school
CHENNAI: Alleging the school management had cheated them on CBSE affiliation, the parents and relatives of the students protested in front of a private school in Kodungaiyur on Tuesday. Velankanni Public School in Kodungaiyur is having classes from LKG to Class 2. The parents are alleging that the school had advertised it as CBSE school and collected extra fees. But, they came to know that the school is yet to get the affiliation.
When a student’s parents sought the transfer certificate recently, the school management allegedly given it in the name of Velankanni Matriculation Higher Secondary School. Agitated parents approached the school management demanding the clarification. Since the answer was not satisfactory to the parents they resorted to protest on Tuesday. Perambur MLA Vetrivel came to the spot to pacify the parents. Things took an ugly turn when ruling party MLA Vetrivel’s associates entered into arguments with the parents and attacked them. However, on Tuesday evening the school management held the meeting with the parents to explain the position on CBSE affiliation.
