Coimbatore: The former ambulance driver, who now barely worked as a concrete mixer truck driver, approached the collector on Monday stating that he had to attract his two children from private schools because of his inability to pay for these fees.
However, two government schools he is now trying to acknowledge that they demand a transfer certificate, which is rejected by private schools to give without paying legal fees.
Factories and factory workers in rural areas are also considering moving their children to government schools from their personal.
Schools, especially when online classes are new norms.
Kannan Manikandan, who used to work for 108 ambulances at Puni, moved to Coimbatore towards the end of 2020 to find a job.
He managed to find a job as a concrete mixer driver.
“I put my son in class IX and daughter in class V at St.
Paul’s school on the pudur,” he said in his stelet to the collector in the city.
“At first I paid a cost of Rs 38,000 for a term for both,” he said.
Because of the poor economic conditions and applicable pandemics, Manikandan said he often found him without work and could not pay a fee for the past 2020-year academic year.
“So, I decided to pull them out and put them well at the Pannimadai government school or ashokapuram government school.
But now both government schools constantly call us and ask for a transfer certificate for at least for our son because he will go to class X,” said Manikandan , The driver also shows SMS and constant records given to his daughter and son, demanding the payment of the third term fees from private schools.
For Mithun Karthik, they demanded the cost of Rs 22,970 and Rs 14,000-strange for his daughter.
“The school said I had to pay 75% or at least two cost terms to give me a transfer certificate, which I could not afford because I did not work for the past two months,” the driver said.
The Revenue District officer said he would investigate it.
The main education officer, M Ramakrishnan, said the transfer certificate was mandatory in government schools to enter from class IX nine and so on.
“Until class VIII under the RTI Act, the transfer certificate is not needed, but from class IX is needed.
Although there is no government school that will reject education, it is the protocol that they get a transfer certificate,” he said.
“If the complaint is forwarded to us, we will look into it,” he added.
Many people in rural areas consider the same steps.
“After my husband and brother lost their jobs, it was with my salary that I supported them.
Because it was an online class that was not understood my child, I was considering shifting from school Pums to the Thondaamuthur government school,” said T Puniyavani, a domestic servant “I also tried to shift my son from Pioneer aid school.
To the government school,” said the driver of a private factory.
