Mr. Shamael Ahmad, National President , Private schools and Children Welfare association, a national body showed his displeasure after PMs address and said the step-motherly treatment of private schools and its teachers cannot be tolerated further. On behalf of all the private schools of all states and Union Territories, lakhs letters were sent to the Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi to make him aware about the problems faced by all private schools due to the ongoing lockdown.
The request of private schools seeking funds from Central government to pay salaries to their staff and to meet other monthly expenses like rent EMI of bank loans electricity water bills taxes and vehicle expenses cannot be ignored by the government. Schools functioning and expenses are solely dependent on fee collection. Parents on large are not depositing fee since March and now the survival of staff as well as schools is at stake. Teachers have adapted to online teaching and are working for more hours so that children are not at loss. Private schools seek funds from Central Government at the rate of the expense per child in the government school so as to meet out the payment of salaries to their hardworking employees said Mr.Shamael Ahmad. Why is the government not addressing the problems of teachers who are the real builders of the nation? Is it not the responsibility of the government asked the National President?
We expect the government to support us in this crisis time as its leading to lot of mental stress which can be fatal if not addressed on time explained Mr.Shamael Ahmad to Cool Bangalore News.
Teachers who are facing the above narrated situation shall please mail their grievance to syedshamael06@gmail.com or coolbangalorenews@gmail.com
