In Azamgarh, students at a private inter college staged a protest outside their school, claiming excessive fees, a lack of teachers, and other irregularities within the institution. The protesting pupils questioned the additional Rs 500 they were asked to pay, asserting that they were promised the funds were collected per management instructions. They also alleged that fees were collected under multiple categories, including maintenance and library expenses, without clear explanations.
The students further expressed their dissatisfaction with the quality of education and the scarcity of subject teachers, notably demanding the appointment of a chemistry teacher. Following the demonstration, it was reported that they received a commitment that a chemistry instructor would be assigned within 48 hours. However, tensions flared during the protest when a female teacher allegedly instructed them to discontinue their demonstration and return to classes.
The students maintained that they wished to continue studying at the same institution, provided they had adequate teachers and improved academic facilities.
Supporters of the protesting students alleged that education officials had previously instructed the institution to refund specific amounts collected from students, but these monies had not been returned. Allegations were also made concerning the management of the institution and staff appointments. The students called for fair treatment, proper teaching facilities, and clarity regarding the fees charged.
They warned that if the promised chemistry instructor was not provided within 48 hours, they would return to the school and resume their protest.
