Ans:- A GLARING EDUCATIONAL EVIL

It is very shocking and surprising that some of the Private Schools in cities have been exploiting the innocent parents mischievously by getting huge amounts of donations in the name of the school building or something else.

This is, of course, simply loot. The Government should check such practices from such a pious field as education. If possible, the Government should ban anything extra other than the fee and other school charges. At the same time, it is the duty of the parents also not to submit to such unjustified demands of any Public School. Further, the case should be taken up by the Parent-Teacher Organisations. In this way, this evil will be eradicated.
