As the controversy is on rise over realization of education extension fees being realised by Carmel School here the National commission For protection of Child Right (CPCR) has issued a notice to DC Dhanbad on this issue and has sought a report .
It's worth mentioning that parents here are up in arms against realisation of the education extension fee by Carmel School despite the directive of the district fee fixation committee(DFFC) to adjust it in monthly tuition fee.
The ongoing dispute once again came to fore while the school management sent whatsapp messages to parents of wards to clear the dues of annual fee of Rs 6000 being realised in the head of education extension fee mentioned in fee book. Several parents had stopped payment of the said fee terming it violation of government orders including the RTE Act 2009.
One of the parents, Madhurendra Singh said ,"It violates guidelines issued by the District education officer who also is secretary of DFFC". Terming it to be an excess burden on parents Singh claims that students were being targeted in class by teachers this also is mental torture to students of this school.
Singh had written to state HRD minister besides, DC Dhanbad who is ex officio chairman of DFFC, NationalCommission for Child Rights, CM Jharkhand, regional director of education besides others against violation of government guidelines on this issue.
Now the DC Dhanbad has been asked to inquire into the facts of the matter and report to the commission within a specified period.
