Are the schools in your country demanding fees?

Really..but I don't think so. What makes teachers special that they should get their full fess. Every employee is facing a salary cut. The schools should understand the plight of the parents who are out of job or facing salary cut off. Online classes aren't and can never be a substitute to physical classes. The schools aren't running. No electricity bills..no other maintainance at present. They should give some concession at least. Demanding full fees is what all parents should object and this is what is happening all around. So many protests coming up.daily

@amitkokiladitya It will depend on the school where your child goes. The school where I work and where my children go have lands and buildings on lease. They have 150 non teaching staff who need to be paid. We are not taking transport fees but paying salary to our 30 bus drivers. Also the lease of these big schools run in lakhs and crores. And teachers salary is not cur because online classes is more tedious for us than physical classes. We have to work on more logistics.Yes for playschool and lower classes we can understand but for higher classes teachers are working extra time as they have to split classes into batches. And lower grade teachers are as such paid in peanuts for the amount of effort they put. Cutting their salary further would be unethical. Have you ever thought of paying a pre school teacher a decent salary otherwise. Parents can not handle their single child for few hours and she has to take care of a full class. I wish there was a demand by parents to pay them more for phyiscal classes when they are thinking of cutting down their salary now. And as for job cut and salary cut for parent goes maybe the genuine cases can be taken into account. But as far as I know children going to decent schools have parents who are capable of paying the full fees.

@amitkokiladitya We all have big changes in our lives now and must do the best we can.

@DianneN yes...true. And when most of the parents are facing lack of funds school fees has become a big matter of concern

That is both good and bad then

I guess the situation is same everywhere then

@amitkokiladitya schools need money too so they have to charge higher.

@Alexandoy and what about the parents who are out of their jobs because of this pandemic

@amitkokiladitya those courses that need to be pursued may be the occupations that need to just sit on a chair and doing paper stuff. nursing and engineering are some occupations that should be excluded because they need OTJ trainings.

@ridingbet yes ..the ones which require more of practical knowledge are impossible to be completed

Yes...I don't think physical Schools will be possible this year

Here most of the school are private

@Nakitakona yes...we have no other option at all

@amitkokiladitya So you're paying the school fees then.

Yes ..so well said

@Butterfingers have a good day ahead.

@amitkokiladitya take care

@amitkokiladitya Schools are no more those Vidya Ashrams. They are now big commercial ventures.

But what is the point in demanding the full fees. Some concession is justified

Yes...and increasing each and every year

Yes...all.they want is to fill up their pockets

Ohh..I understand. Here the government schools aren't good so most of the parents opt for the private schools

The full fess or some concession

@amitkokiladitya even it is free, but in some occassion the parents have to pay

I don't think the school and college will allow the fees to go away so easily

@amitkokiladitya I don't. With so many complaints around, I'm surprised how the university management still close it's ears not to extend the fees. They have the excuses like 'well you do online classes still like the semester is going'... Ish
