No special classes for students of Xth, no collection of fee amid COVID-19 in Tamil Nadu

Private schools should not hold special coaching classes for class X students to prepare them for the public examination scheduled for June, School Education and Sports Minister K A Sengottiyan said on Saturday.

Speaking to reporters near Gobichettipalayam where he laid the foundation for bore-well, drainage works, among others, the Minister said he has been getting information that some private schools were holding the special



classes.

This should not be conducted failing which the education department would seal the particular school and cancel the licence, he said.

If any school, be it private or government-aided and government school authorities, was involved in admission and collection of fees from the students, it would be pulled up, the Minister said.

No school should collect the fee prior to re-opening of schools, he said.
