Some private schools were threatening to terminate students for non-payment of the previous year’s fees.

He demanded a white paper on the total number of admissions done under the Act during the last six years. G K Vasan of TMC (Moopanar) said in a press statement, “Private schools are not following the RTE Act’’.
