Private schools in Rajasthan oppose order on admission without transfer certificate | Jaipur News

Members of association of private schools protest in city on Monday.

JAIPUR: Association of private schools in Rajasthan organised a statewide protest against the recent orders issued by the state government on giving admissions to the students in government schools without transfer certificate (TC).
Members of the association met MLAs, block development officials and collectors of various districts. A group of representatives also went to meet MLA Mahesh Joshi and Jaipur collector Antar Singh Nehra regarding this.
School Shiksha Pariwar, who has more than 30,000 private schools as its members, opposed the order issued by Directorate of Bikaner on giving admissions to students in government schools from class I to VIII without TC. They claimed that now, the parents will go for admission in government schools without paying fees in private schools, until the physical classes start.
Anil Sharma, president of School Shiksha Pariwar said, “We informed the MLA and the collector about the severe repercussions on us. Anyway parents are reluctant to pay fees and with this order, they will take their children out from our schools, get them admitted in government schools until the situation of school lockdown prevails and then once the pandemic is over, they will return. We will face severe financial losses.”
Another point put forward by the private schools was that on April 9, 2020, the government itself issued order that any parent who wants to leave schools with transfer certificate, have to clear the due fees.
Officials have given a reason that many private schools are not organizing online classes for the students while charging full fees. Many parents who want to shift to different schools are not given TC and for those students, the government has decided to give them admission provisionally until they get their certificates.
Director of secondary education, Sourabh Swami while talking to TOI said, “The admission will be given on provisional basis and in our software (P) will be written to avoid any doubling of students. We will be cautious about this fact and will take TC documents from the students later. We will stand by the order and will take necessary precautions.”
