<p class=""> A day after the Department of Public Instruction (DPI)
published the list of illegal and unauthorised schools in Bengaluru,
private school managements have cried foul as several schools that were
denied permission for upper primary classes are on the list. </p><p class="">Explaining
a case, a member of the management of a school in Laggere said that
they had applied for permission for classes six and seven for several
years, including 2013-2014 academic year, but were denied on the grounds
that they were violating the language policy for classes one to five,
even as the policy matter was in court. “The department itself has
denied us permission and now they term us as illegal. The department
seems to be in no mood to sort out the language policy which is only
adding to the confusion and chaos,” the member said. </p><p class="">Several other schools too said that their plight is the same. </p><p class="">D.
Shashi Kumar, General Secretary, Associated Managements of Government
Recognised English Medium Schools in Karnataka, said that some schools
which had made submissions in the courts that they are running English
medium classes were denied permission for classes six and eight. “The
department first needs to clarify these issues before defaming the
school managements,” he said. </p><p class="">Department officials
conceded that the schools were indeed denied permission but said they
were only following instructions of higher-ups. A senior official in the
department said that, in such instances, the schools could cite their
objections within 10 days.</p><p class="">Meanwhile, some parents
approached schools after they saw that the school was listed as illegal.
“The school claimed that they have all permissions in place. Why then
are they illegal?” a parent, whose child studies in a Rajajinagar school
that has been listed as illegal, said. <br></p><p class=""><a href="http://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/bangalore/list-of-illegal-schools-private-school-managements-cry-foul/article6719981.ece">http://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/bangalore/list-of-illegal-schools-private-school-managements-cry-foul/article6719981.ece</a><br></p><br clear="all"><br>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature">**************************************<br>N.b.: Listing on the lgpolicy-list is merely intended as a service to its members<br>and implies neither approval, confirmation nor agreement by the owner or sponsor of the list as to the veracity of a message's contents.
