Hyderabad: Hyderabad collector Rahul Bojja said on Saturday that he would direct the district education officer to take stock of the situation at St. Andrews and Amrita Vidyalayam schools against whom parents have been protesting.
Commenting on private school charging exorbitant fees, he said the government was working on a policy to address the issue. While in St. Andrews the issue was about barring parents from entering for more than 20 minutes after the closing bell was rung, at Amrita Vidyalayam, 27 students were issued transfer certificates after their parents protested against excess fees.
Meanwhile, parents continued their protest for the second day in front of St. Andrews School in Old Boinpally. They demanded the management to revise the timings for handing over children to their parents and also to tender an apology for closing gates from inside even while parents were trying to talk to staff on Friday.
Tension prevailed with a large crowd assembling by afternoon. Police had to control the situation after a scuffle broke out when parents did not allow the gate of the school to be opened.
