The Grand Alliance of Private Schools Associations Sindh has refused to implement the minimum monthly wage of Rs25,000 and 10 per cent freeship policy. According to the policy, private schools are bound to provide free education to 10 per cent of their students.
After a meeting of the grand alliance on Friday, a press statement was issued on Saturday that stated that the private schools would also not comply with additional instructions issued by the Directorate of Inspection and Registration of Private Institutions (Dirpis).
The grand alliance announced that the nominated representatives of private school associations would hold direct talks with the Sindh education minister and Dirpis director-general to present their demands.
“Private schools are already waiving up to 100 per cent tuition fees of the orphan students, children of martyrs and media workers, and of those recommended by the directorate,” a statement from the alliance said.
They said that there was no concept of 10 per cent freeship in any other sector.
