Take over management of private school, panel tells J&K government

Srinagar, July 29

The Fee Fixation and Regulation Committee (FFRC) on Thursday asked the J&K government to take over the management of a private school for grave violations of norms.

“From the record available with the FFRC, it prima facie appears that the school has not been set up and is not being run to impart education to the children but has been created to make money,” FFRC chairman Justice Muzaffar Hussain Attar (retired) ) said in his 18-page order.

The judge was disposing off complaints by parents against Tiny Harts School, Tengpora, Srinagar. According to the order, the principal secretary of the Education Department was directed to appoint an administrator for the school to ensure that the education of the nearly 1,000 students enrolled there does not suffer.

Among the complaints against the school were charging of admission fees which is banned by statute, inadequate teaching staff and shabby classrooms. — PTI
