Complaint Against Private Schools in Aiza Mandal
Bharath Rashtriya Samithi Vidyarthi (BRSV) Jogulamba Gadwal District Coordinator, Kuruva Pallayya, has raised concerns about private schools in Aiza Mandal. He lodged a complaint with the Mandal Education Officer (MEO), Dayal Ramulu, regarding excessive fees and overcrowded school buses.
Accompanied by BRSV Mandal President Mattali, Town President Mala Veeresh, and Parusharamudu, Pallayya submitted a formal complaint at ZPHS High School in Aiza. They demanded immediate action to address these issues.
Key Concerns Raised
1. High Fees & Academic Pressure
Private schools are charging high fees while failing to provide proper facilities and qualified teachers. Some schools are even forcing 10th-grade students to pay full fees before issuing hall tickets for final exams.
2. Lack of Basic Facilities
Many schools do not have proper toilets, playgrounds, fire safety measures, or boundary walls. In some cases, students are forced to relieve themselves in open areas due to poor sanitation facilities.
3. Unsafe Learning Environment
Several schools are located near busy roads, exposing students to noise and air pollution, which can harm their health. Additionally, school buses are overcrowded, posing serious safety risks for students.
4. Unqualified Teachers & Poor Education Quality
Some schools hire unqualified teachers without necessary certifications like D.Ed., B.Ed., or TET. These teachers are paid low salaries, affecting the quality of education. There have also been reports of students being physically punished over unpaid fees, including an incident at Krishnaveni School in Aiza.
Demands & Actions Required
– The MEO should inspect private schools and regulate school fees.
– Schools must display their fee structures on notice boards.
– School buses should follow safety regulations and not exceed their seating capacity.
– Unfit school buses without valid fitness certificates should be seized immediately.
Kuruva Pallayya emphasized that education should not become a business. He urged authorities to take strict action against private schools violating rules, ensuring a safe and quality learning environment for students in Aiza Mandal.
