One of the parents told the news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO), “Ingenious School of Education Mallabagh’ Srinagar asked me that the school is charging Rs 2600 tuition fee for the nursery class.

The parents further alleged that the FFRC has recommended charging Rs 6805 annual charges. “The school in violation of government orders is asking parents to pay Rs 8,900 as annual charges for the nursery class for the upcoming academic year.”
Besides, the parents further alleged that the school management is asking them to pay advance fee for the full session. “We were even charged Rs 1,000 for taking admission form.”
