The Student-Parent Forum has called the government’s decision to allow private schools and institutions to charge full fee “shameful”. It demanded that the decision be rolled back. Forum convener Vijender Mehra said schools had started harassing parents by sending them messages asking for full fee. Mehra claimed that parents were being threatened that if they did not pay full fee, their wards would be expelled or barred from appearing in exams.
