It said the private schools should receive ‘true patronage and recognition’ as they have put in many of their own resources and effort in bringing about educational benefits to so many students from varied backgrounds, that despite the ‘selfless efforts,’ private schools have been facing criticism from various quarters. Even during the pandemic, private schools have been working beyond the call of duty to make sure that education does not fail, it stated.
With the imposition of lockdown, almost all private schools had to take up new extraordinary challenges for creating a conducive learning environment for the students and all mentors have been working selflessly, it added.
