Tomorrow never comes & only you can help yourselves, today !

This new year & a new decade has started with a big bang to parents of school going children in AP with the GO_MS91 getting suspended & schools started with demanding fee hikes (not as high as yester years, thanks to all parents for uniting for over one year now) for the academic year coming up in few schools & that has already started in few.

As all of you are aware by now, HSPA has hired some of the best counsels to fight for us against the school managements who wanted to get the GO_MS91 scrapped. HSPA has impleaded into most of the school cases & the same came for hearing first last week & again yesterday.

List of schools which went to High Court against GO_MS91 & 92

1. Niraj Public School
2. Meridian Public School
3. Chirec Public School
4. Delhi Public School Hyderabad & Secunderabad
5. Princess Esin School
6. St. Andrew’s High School
7. Nalanda Vidyalaya
8. Glendale Academy
9. International School, Shaikpet
10. Nasr School
11. CAL Public School
12. Sunflower School
13. Oakridge School
14. Chaitanya Model School
15. Narayana Schools
16. Vikas Schools
& the count goes on …

Yesterday the court heard Mr. PP Rao (Supreme Court lawyer) who represented Chirec in HC for about 4 odd hours. Today many other lawyers we heard @ the same court on their views & all of them have a complaint that state has no right to control fee related stuff in private, un-aided schools.

The case is likely to come up again next week & it could be the Government & our turn to defend why we’re complaining & why Government has taken up action.

Fellow Parents, it’s the time we unite, spread as wide as possible & show our strength. Imagine what happens when Parents unite together in large numbers?

- Government favors & helps with GO in case of AP
- School managements come down in case of KPS, Sahibabad
- Bring down fee hikes to reasonable numbers like in AP, by most schools this year
- Settle down with agreeable hikes in many schools elsewhere
- Courts come to the rescue of parents as in Delhi or Maharashtra
and the list goes on.

Today is the only time we have & we need you to pledge your support for this cause. We loose today, tomorrow never comes !

Invitation to parents from across to actively participate for the cause, that could change everyone's life.

We’re sure you know about GO_MS_91 and how HSPA worked relentlessly in 2009 with late CM YSR and his team to get this GO rolled out in the larger interest of parents in AP state. Private Un-aided schools (Like DPS, Meridian, Chirec, Niraj, St Andrew’s, Pricess Esin and Nalanda) could not take this possibility of REGULATORS in education sector and challenged the GO and managed to get 4 weeks temporary suspension of GO_MS_91 so that the case can be heard with their perspective.

But just with the news of 4 weeks temporary suspension of GO_MS_91, all schools had started raising their fees again without any fear of regulation. Some schools had even sent “revised written circulars” with a fee being revised twice within a same academic year. The hikes generally across the city for 2010 -11 is pegged currently at 5- 23%.

HSPA has been included in this case as a body representing the interest of parents across the Greater Hyderabad City. The case was heard on last Tuesday in AP High Court with Schools, AP Government and HSPA as 3 parties. Last hearing continued for 1.5 hours & had gone very positive around Government’s role to review/ regulate Fee “yearly hike” in Private –unaided schools also. CBSE/ ICSE/ IB etc are all affiliation bodies and have no role around administrative governance.

 

HSPA had hired the services of a very prestigious “Designated Senior Counsel” who has been “Ex Advocate General” and looking at how he had contested the case on last Tuesday with his team, all the Schools have now merged their 9 legal teams to contest this case an additionally hired AP HC Senior Counsel and 2 Supreme Court counsels being called from Delhi to contest this on next Tuesday March 30th. Based on how fast its going, Our counsel feel that the case can be wrapped up within next 15 days, as against our earlier expectation of 1-2 years.

 

If HSPA alongwith AP Government is successful in retaining the sanctity of GO_MS_91, then you can be assured that you will continue to get quality education but will not be at the ransom of the school for “take it or leave it” stand!!!
