Central Board Of Secondary Education [CBSE] — selling books at cbse school

Address:

N.S.N Memorial School (Affiliated to CBSE) , Thirumurugan Salai , Thirumurugan Nagar, Chitlapakkam. Chennai - 600064. Phone No: 044-22235829,22236977, e-mail: [email protected]

I would like to bring in to your notice that nsn memorial school, po - chitlapakkam, chennai -600064 is selling books at school for a high price though there is a strict order in place by cbse that schools should not sell books, uniform, bags, shoes etc. But this school for years is selling all the above that too for a price far higher than market price. They do not allow the students to buy any of them from outside.

Referring the article published in economic times dated 20th april 2017 (https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/industry/services/education/cbse-warns-schools-against-selling-books-uniforms/a...⇄

For a 10th standard student school is charging rs.7500/- as book fee. When we calculated the price of notebooks and ncert text books that the school provided, we found a difference of 2.5k for which school had no response.

Apart from this, a 4th standard student has to pay rs. 7300/- (Text books – 2800/- & notebooks – rs. 4500/-). I hereby attach the list of notebooks & textbooks issued for the above price.

It is really an unjust practice by the school especially during such a pandemic situation. When we check with school, they did not even show a courtesy to respond.

We expect a justice from the authorities since school take it as a business to sell such things and forcefully impose heavy price to the parents.
Thanks in advance.
