After mid-day’s report about 30 children struggling to get admission in schools because of the vindictive actions of D S Desai School in Kalyan, which issued them leaving certificates with negative marks after a tussle with their parents over recent fee hikes; the KDMC Education department has written to the Zilla Parishad Education Department, asking it to cancel the authorisation of the institute. The KDMC Education Department conducted an inquiry into the matter before writing the letter.

'Understood problem’
mid-day had reported the issue on June 29 (Kalyan school hikes fees by 66 percent, kicks 30 kids out for protesting). After parents protested the KDMC mayor had asked the education department to inquire into the matter. “We have understood the parents’ problem and students’ career issue. We have written to the Zilla Parishad Education Department to look into the matter and cancel the registration of the school. In the past as well, when the parents approached us for help, we had issued various letters to the school asking them to co-operate,” said J J Tadvi, education officer, KDMC.
