Rise to the occasion during pandemic, Karnataka High Court says.
Observing that educational institutions should rise to the occasion on account of the COVID-19 pandemic, the High Court of Karnataka has asked the managements of schools affiliated to the CBSE and the ICSE to voluntarily notify parents that they would consider the grievances of individual parents on payment of the full fee for the 2020-21 academic year.
“This court would also implore upon the management of the institutions affiliated to ICSE and CBSE boards and the Association of Indian Schools to voluntarily issue notices on their notice boards that they would consider individual grievances of the parents and shall not insist upon the payment of full school fees in the light of the genuine grievances raised by the parents,” the court observed.
'If it means we need to join forces to do it, we are prepared to do anything for students,' said Wits University SRC deputy president Sthembiso Dabula.

LA GRANDE â Eastern Oregon Universityâs student-run FM radio station, KEOL, may go silent after the school year.
KEOL is receiving $33,481 in 2020-21 from the universityâs Student Fee Committee and asked for $33,606 for 2021-22. But the committee voted not to fund KEOL in 2021-22.
âIt was a very tough decision,â said Keegan Sanchez, vice chair of the Student Fee Committee and Easternâs student body president.
The Student Fee Committee, which voted to defund KEOL on Feb. 5, determines how much money from student incidental fees is to go to 20 student organizations and programs on campus. The student senate earlier this week approved the recommendations. They must next receive the approval of EOU President Tom Insko and EOU Board of Trustees.
