Private schools’ gesture to police

15/05/2020, SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT,SIVAGANGA

The Sivaganga district police, whose wards are studying in private matriculation schools, are happy because some educational institutions have announced huge concession in payment of school fees.

The concession ranges from 12 to 50 %. Initially, eight institutions have come forward to extend the concession and more institutions would come forward, said Superintendent of Police Rohit Nathan on Wednesday.

He said the one-time concession would help parents and could not be a strain for the institutions. It is voluntary and there was no compulsion.

The benefit would go to all policemen and officers who were members of the District Police Club, he said and added that those interested in taking the concession should get a bonafide certificate from the office.

The schools have extended a fee concession of 40 % of the fee to be remitted for the ensuing term for the children of policemen and special sub-inspectors and 30 % concession for Sub-Inspectors and above.

If three children from a family are studying in a school, they would get 50 % concession.

A school correspondent said it was a kind gesture shown voluntarily. About 10 private schools in Manamadurai, Karaikudi, M Koilpatti and Sivaganga have come forward to give the concession.

More institutions may join in the coming days, he added.
