"We are forced to close 10,000 nursery primary schools in Tamil Nadu"

"We are forced to close 10,000 nursery primary schools in Tamil Nadu," said Nandakumar, state general secretary of the Tamil Nadu Nursery Primary Matriculation Schools Association.

In Hosur, he said: There are 10 thousand nursery primary schools in Tamil Nadu. Many schools operate in rented buildings. Electricity charges include property tax. Seat tax insurance for another 50,000 school vehicles Road tax has to be paid including. Tuition fees have been pending since 2019 because of the corona period.

Even after the Chennai High Court ruled that parents can buy 75 per cent of their tuition fees, even 25 per cent of schools do not receive those 75 per cent. As a result, more than 5 lakh teachers and staff are dying. We are being pushed to suicide.

We have decided to close the primary nursery schools as we are unable to repay the loan. Let the government take over our schools and more than 50 lakh students. There is no other option but to close schools. Thus he said.
