BJP Yuva Morcha (BJYM) demonstrated against the exorbitant fee structure in private and corporate schools with a supplementary objective of a more categorised and centralised fee structure in the state.

Hyderabad:BJP Yuva Morcha (BJYM) on Tuesday held a dharna against the exorbitant fee structure in private and corporate schools with a supplementary objective of a more categorised and centralised fee structure in the state.

BJP Yuva Morcha state president Gundagoni Bharat Goud said: "We are protesting against the fee structure in private and corporate schools in Hyderabad and Telangana. These schools have very high fees as compared to the rest of the country. They name the schools as techno schools or international schools. Under these titles, they charge lakhs from the public."

Referring to different schools and describing their fee structures, Goud said, "The schools are no more for the purpose of educating students but have become a kind of business, it has become a mafia and a way to earn money."

"We have been fighting for this issue for about a month. We have conducted round table talks, staged dharnas and have also submitted a memorandum to the education commissioner. Despite all these efforts, the government hasn't responded yet," he added.

"This fight and protest will continue till the fees come down so that even a poor child can get quality education," Goud said.
