As parents, we deserve the respect to being given an advance notification and justification for any fee hike before implementation. If the school management treats the parents as a herd of sheep then how will the teachers treat our children. We need to know the below details prior to considering any fee hike:

1. How can you announce a fee hike at such a short notice and implement it immediately from the next academic year? Even though you are well aware that admissions in most CBSE schools have already closed for the next academic year!
2. Does the school have the approval of Ministry of Education for this hike?
3. On what basis can the management mandate the purchase of books from the school when these books are available at other outlets? Unless it will be offered subsidized from the school.

We need answers and not promises. We need a justification.
