Only tuition fee is being collected this time, says Principal of a city school
Schools under the Central Board of Secondary Education in the district have started preparing for the new academic year anticipating that classes will continue to be held online amidst the worsening pandemic crisis. Managements have asked parents to remit the first instalment of fee before the second week of May. Textbooks and notebooks, which were earlier planned to be distributed from schools, will have to be purchased either online or from book shops suggested by schools as part of their agreement with vendors. The Principal of a city school said that only tuition fee was being collected as the chances of offline classes starting in the first week of June were remote in view of the health crisis. “We have asked teachers and students to get ready for online sessions in the new academic year. Last year, we had collected bus and lab fee without realising that the country will face a prolonged lockdown. It was refunded later,” she said.More Related News

This dedicated corridor with its specialised coaches will link the airport to vast stretches of Bengaluru, where the metro connection is still years away.
