Please waive parents some of the fees as the cost is very high when homeschooling.

I do NOT agree with teachers and staff not being paid their SAME salaries - NO reductions; no unpaid leave ...... None of that whatsoever. What I do think is that fees should be reduced and it come out of the corporate profit. So Gems Schools do not make a profit or make a profit for their shareholders etc...... it will resume again shortly. Good teachers and staff is hard to come by and if you want to retain students then you adapt to this crises yet keep the top level staff you have so they will come back.

I totally agree with the petition, in fact we as parents were expecting GEMS to take the initiative instead of waiting for parents to push for their rights.

I understand school has fixed overheads and salaries to pay but please also consider the time spent by parents at home with their kids for schooling. Reasonable discount should be worked out.

Since the responsibilities of the teachers has been shifted to the parents, and also the consumption of electronic devices has increased , resulting in the increase in electricity bill. Hence, the fees has to be reduced.

As mentioned in previous surveys, there needs to be some form of rebate as kids are not utilising all the school facilities. We respect the management and teachers really stepping up to support the online learning. But this is different, this is about reducing profits, not salaries.

I find it really unreasonable and not right for the school management/owners not to reduce the fee for the third term.

There has to be a reality check from schools. This is about the school being a good stakeholder in the community and supporting both parents and teachers in this time of crisis.

My husband who is the only earning member of the family is jobless and without any income for the past 12 months. We have exhausted all our options and can I’ll afford our child’s fees and are barely making ends meet in the home front. Please help us by granting concessions on this fee payment and that shall help us in some way at least.
