Parents had sought fee reduction from Janasakthi Public School
Parents of three students of Janasakthi Public School, Velanchira, Kayamkulam have lodged a complaint with General Education Minister V. Sivankutty and Kerala State Commission for Protection of Child Rights alleging that the school management prevented their children from studying in the school as a retaliation for moving the Kerala High Court seeking to slash fees in view of the COVID-19 pandemic. Parents of Jewel Prathappan and Devika Dileep, both Std IX students and Devan, a Std VIII student, said their wards were not allowed to attend online classes ever since the school reopened. Prathappan Rajappan, father of Jewel said he had received a missive from the school Principal stating that the school management had taken a decision not to allow his child to study in the school.
