Asia English School Conflict Resolved Smoothly

The controversy surrounding Asia English School in Drive-In area was resolved on Thursday after a meeting between agitating parents and the school administration

Following aggressive representations made by angry guardians, the school authorities partially rolled back the fee hike and also suspended its vice-principal for misbehaving with girl students. On Thursday, the parents blocked the main gate to prevent students from going into the school. Apprehending trouble, the school administration had intimated the city police and cops had provided security within the campus.

For close to two hours, the slogan shouting continued till a delegation of the agitating parents was allowed inside to interact with the school administration. The school trustee M P Chandran met with the delegation and assured it that vice-principal J P Joshi has been suspended following allegations of misconduct against him. Chandran also said that a probe is being conducted to verify the truth of allegations against Joshi.

The school's trustee also assured that the proposed fee hike will now be cut. Chandran also announced: "This time the hike will be only 10% of the existing fees. And, from now onwards whenever there is a fee hike, parents will be taken into confidence for consultation."

The two students who had been given school leaving certificates (SLC) on Wednesday after the parents' agitation too have been re-inducted into the school. Sailesh Patel, whose sons had been given SLC by the school on Wednesday , said: "Later on Wednesday night, all aggrieved parents met at my house to decide the future course of action . We have spoken to the school's management and it has taken all our grievances into consideration and the matter has been settled amicably ."
