Bengaluru: Following public outrage over the Government’s decision to collect Rs.100 monthly donation from the parents of children studying in Government Schools, in order to meet the maintenance expenses, the State Government on Saturday withdrew the circular three days after it was issued.
The Commissioner of the Department of School Education and Literacy (formerly Department of Public Instruction) on Oct.19 had issued a circular asking the SDMCs (School Development Management Committees) to collect Rs. 100 as monthly voluntary donations from parents of school children, as development charges.
