Quick Read
Following parent complaints and objections raised by local authorities, a three-member committee has been constituted to probe allegations against Witty (International and World) School in Borivali. The panel, comprising two education inspectors and one sub-inspector, with clerical assistance, was formed on December 23 and has been asked to submit its report within seven days.
The move comes amid allegations of fee irregularities levelled by parents. As mid-day reported on December 22, parents alleged that students in the same classroom were being charged different fees. They also claimed that the school imposed steep and arbitrary fee hikes when students moved from pre-primary to primary sections, with increases ranging from 40 per cent to 100 per cent.
