Members also condemned the step motherly treatment given by the Director School Education Jammu for granting recognition to number of schools up to class 8th after his retirement by the pick and choose method for the interest best known to the concerned officials, although 324 files as per circular number 04-DSEJ of 2018 dated 09-02-2018 after fulfilling all the conditions and norms are gathering dust in the department.
General Secretary of the Association, Ajay Gupta after a threadbare discussion and general consensuses with the associates appealed to all the stakeholders not to enhance the tuition fee more than 8 percent for the academic session 2018-19 till the Committee for Fee Fixation does not come out with a clear cut policy for the unaided private schools.
