The ongoing tussle between the authorities of New Horizon Scholars School in Airoli and parents of its students over hike in bus fees and tuition fees shows no sign of abating. As reported earlier by MiD DAY, the school has hiked the bus fees by 25 per cent without intimating the parents. The school also reportedly refused to ferry those children whose parents did not pay the hiked fees (‘Parents miffed as kids are ‘banned’ from school bus,’ April 3). The same was also done with the tuition fees, which were hiked without consultation with parents.

Parents of students of the school aren’t convinced with the justification that fees have been hiked due to expenditure on infrastructure and inflation, as no major changes have been made recently
