ISLAMABAD: Hundreds of parents staged a protest demonstration on Sunday against owners of private school for charging outrageous school fees and appealed to the prime minister to take notice of the issue. However, private school owners later protested that the rules were unjustified, filed cases in court and got a decision in their favour. A parent shared that the private schools are not only charging exorbitant fees at their own will, they are also asking parents to submit affidavits that they will not challenge the fee. The protestors said private school owners should not be part of academic authorities as that is a conflict of interest. They appealed to the prime minister to form a special task force for the private education sector and protect their rights.
