Sub: Fee Reduction on Third Semester’s E-Learning
Dear Sir / Madam
In light of the existing situation, we, parents of The Sheffield Private School’s, appreciate the Institutions’ continuous support and back the decision of the school’s closure for the safety of its students. However, we feel that it is unjustified that the TSPS is demanding a full fee payment for the Third Term’s 'Distance Learning Program'.
It is important to address that the online learning platform is not a complete alternate, but rather a supplement to the Term Education. Parents have to put in more than 5-7 hours a day, assisting children to complete the daily assigned lessons, provide resources, stationary, technology, not to mention the added mental strain and pressure of working from home simultaneously.
Moreover, Keeping the current situation in mind, the government has clearly created policies in place which gives the employers a choice to reduce the salaries appropriately. While we appreciate the school’s decision to pay its staff in full, we also firmly believe that this is purely an employer’s decision and responsibility and that the financial implications of this decision must not be passed on to the parents.
In addition to this, the children are not attending school for the entire semester, neither using the premises, utilities, facilities nor all extra circular activities which are now closed for the entire semester thus reducing the school’s costs.
Over the course of last few weeks, we have seen businesses and companies suffer, families across the city taking the brunt of this situation- most employees are being laid off, forced to take unpaid leave or are facing up to 30% pay cuts. Most Businesses are struggling and commercial activity has now come to a complete halt. These are severely difficult times for all of us.
Considering these prevailing conditions, many schools in Dubai are supporting the parents and have announced reductions in fees.
As prominent education providers in the UAE, we expect TSPS to lead the way by example and therefore, we collectively appeal to TSPS management for a minimum 30% Fees Reduction for the Third Term 'E-Learning Program'. For those parents that have already paid, we request their payments to be adjusted against the next upcoming semester or reimbursement for those who have paid the full year fee.
These are difficult times for all of us, and we hope TSPS will play its part.
Your Co-operation shall be highly
appreciated,

We want 30% reduction . The laptops we bought to make your E learning program success (printer ,paper , carriage ,software ) all this extra expense we are bearing In this stressful environment coping with extra stress of E learning
Please review our appeal and be sympathetic of our situations, we know how hard the teachers are working for us, but it is 90% of our efforts that enable our children studying since elearning began!
fees reduction and transport fees waiver should be considered
Please consider reducing the 3rd terms school fees
