Parents’ association says schools should look at issue on humanitarian grounds
The Associated Management of Primary and Secondary Schools in Karnataka has decided to file police complaints against parents who have not paid the school fees as mandated by the High Court of Karnataka.
This was decided at a meeting on Monday after the State Government recently issued strict directions to Block Education Officers to issue transfer certificates to children wishing to move out of private schools if parents file an application. Many private school managements had refused to issue transfer certificates to parents as they had not paid the school fees and wanted the parents to clear their dues before they pulled them out of school.

The draft policy for “Responsible Digital Use Among Students”, released on Monday by the Department of Health and Family Welfare, has recommended that parents set structured routines with clear screen-time rules and prioritise privacy, safety, and open conversation with children on digital well-being.
