With many parents yet to pay fees, managements are anxious about expenses
While teachers are getting ready to welcome students of classes IX and X when schools reopen on Monday, many managements are worried about meeting expenses as a majority of parents have not paid fees for the previous and current academic years. It is not just staff salaries that school managements are worried about. Many have invested in infrastructure or had to renovate classrooms to adhere to government’s SOPs to ensure that students and staff can maintain physical distancing. In addition, a significant part of money will go into sanitising classrooms, washrooms, labs, and common areas, etc. and purchasing disinfectants, as well as hiring non-teaching staff to carry out these duties. Staff have to clean the school premises multiple times a day, said one principal.More Related News
