Ajay Sathe,president,Rosary Parents Association said,“We had also asked the school to collect fees on a monthly basis instead of collecting it annually as it puts a lot of pressure on many parents. The school said they will now fees through quarterly installments. Also,parents having any financial difficulty can approach the the school individually.”

However,the parents were still confused about who paid the fees for around 15 of the protesting parents. Nilesh Mahajan,a parent said,“We had gone to the school to pay the fees for the education material. However,when they entered our names on the computer,it said the fees had already been paid. And it happened with almost all the parents who had been protesting all this while. We met the school authorities who said they will look into the matter.”

After being approached by the parents,school administrator C Balan submitted in writing that the school will need to confirm the receival of fees and will look into the matter. They also asked the parents to give them the names,class and division of the children so that an enquiry could be done in the matter.
