Siddaramaiah urges govt. to fix concessional school fee

He says govt. should not succumb to the lobby of private educational managements

With the State government’s decision to reopen primary and secondary schools from July 1, Leader of the Opposition Siddaramaiah has urged the government to fix concessional fee to be paid by parents to end the stand-off between parents and school managements over the issue during the 2021-22 academic year. In a letter to Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa on Tuesday, Mr. Siddaramaiah said the government should take steps for strict implementation of concessional fee to be paid by parents during the 2021-22 academic year and release of withheld salaries for teaching and non-teaching staff.
