Muscat: The board of directors of India Schools Oman took up the issues raised by the parents of students studying at the Indian School Wadi Kabir on Sunday, sources said. According to a parent, the board chairman promised to take up the matter with the school management committee as the promoter schools are managed by their respective committees though they have to abide by the governing laws. Meanwhile, the School Management Committee approved the increase of the tuition fees for the academic year 2019-2020 by RO 2 per month, which amounts to RO 24 per annum.
“In order to avoid the inconvenience and difficulties faced by the parents on procuring costumes, other related materials, transportation for excursions/picnics etc and for the teachers who collect the same during class hours, the school management has decided that a one time amount of RO 10 per annum to be collected along with term fees, for convenience purpose only. This would make sure that the teacher, as well as the child, is not required to handle cash that caused operational challenges. Parents will from now on not be required to pay any extra amount towards the activities planned for the year.
The total fee increase for the academic year 2019-20 is RO 24 + RO 10 = RO 34.
‘’Parents are requested not to be confused with the varied postings/messages circulating in Social Media (Whatsapp) in respect of the revised fees for 2019-20,’’ the school said in a statement.
As per its profile, ISWK has 6,500 students and 243 teachers.
