Nagpur: A state-level private school association has written a letter to the state government demanding action against the online learning portal/app. All these companies are accused of cheating the parents.

The Maharashtra English School Trustees Association (Mesta) has also announced its intention to hold statewide protests against the same learning apps.

Sanjay Tayde-Patil, President of Maharashtra English School Trustees Association has said that He will also meet Varsha Gaikwad, Minister of School Education in Mumbai. Where the budget session of the state assembly is also going on. Their demand is that there must be many regulations for all these online learning portals and apps which are duping parents of money in the name of education.

Maharashtra English School Trustees Association was also instrumental in forcing the government’s hand to reopen the schools in the month of January itself. Even though the original plan seemed to not do so at all before the date of February 15. In the month of January, it had announced the reopening of all schools in defiance of government orders. After which every senior political leader also joined it and very soon these schools were allowed to reopen once again.

Government to regulate such companies

Sanjay has said that they have seen how in the last two years everyone had attacked English schools and so many laws and rules were imposed on them. Every move of the members of the Maharashtra English School Trustees Association has been questioned and they have also been accused as if the trustees of the school are any kind of anti-social elements.

If the government does not pay heed to his request at all, then Maharashtra English School Trustees Association is preparing for a state-wide agitation. Taide-Patil has said that they will hold protests in every district as their main focus is the welfare and rights of the students. There is a lot of open loot going on through education apps that do not follow the state rules or syllabus at all.

He has also said that there is an urgent need for the government of the country to regulate all such companies. Sanjay has said that they must protect the rights of their parents and students. Unless there are proper government regulations at all, Either way, nothing can be done. The government has always said that they focus only on the welfare of the students. Because of this, this is the right time to implement it.
