Advocates whose children are enrolled in the DPS have submitted a resolution in the Kasur District Bar against the alleged rise in fees by the administration of the DPS and Bulleh Shah College Kasur. Reportedly, when the DPS administration increased its fees up to 20 to 30 percent ten days ago, the parents started staging demonstrations against the administration. They said the rise was not justifiable because they already were paying much high for their children.
The lawyers said the DPS was actually a charity school established to support the poor students but now its administration had started fleecing them in one way or the other. They demanded administrations of both the institutions withdraw notification of fee rise. Chaudhry Imtiaz Ahmad Advocate, member of a newly constituted parents committee, said the school administration was getting Rs seven million annually from the local government to run the school affairs.
He said Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif should take notice of the injustice meted out to the parents of the students. Lawyers requested the higher authorities to force the administrations of the two educational institutions to withdraw fee rise. They also hinted of moving the Lahore High Court if the authorities concerned failed to decrease the fees.
