Now it is our request to parents not to pay fee till the government takes a final call,\u201d Goni said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>He said that government should take parents into confidence before taking any final decision. \u201cGovernment should understand that parents are facing worst economic problems and they can\u2019t afford fee this time,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe salaries of the staff are always taken up by the schools as a tactic to emotionally blackmail the government and parents as well. We ask the government that if the parents have been cooperating with the schools since August 2019 by paying full fee, why the schools this time can\u2019t waive off the fee for the pandemic period,\u201d Goni told KNT.<\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Srinagar: Parents of Private Schools Association Wednesday urged all the parents not to pay fees till final decision from the government comes.
