[Resolved]  Council For The Indian School Certificate Examinations [CISCE] — Overpriced books are being forced to buy

Address:

560098

Dear sir’s,

My son studies in one of the schools affiliated with your council under icse,

The school name and address is as below,

Ka125
Baldwin co-education extension high school,
2nd cross, 10th main 5th stage, b. E. M. L. Layout rajarajeshwari nagar bangalore-560 098

I am writing this mail on behalf of all the parents who are suffering this year due to lack of communication & transparency from the school regarding the text books,

Every year the school themselves use to allot the text books and other stationary which was amounting close to inr 4000 plus.

But this year we suddenly got a message from a third party online book house to buy the books from them as per the school guidelines,

We never got any confirmation message from the school also to buy the books online, later the school sent a message on the list of textbooks to be bought, with an instruction to buy online / offline (The notice is as attached)

Every parent was in a big dilemma since the online book house was charging a costly price of total 7000 to 8000 rupees for the same books which was more than double the regular prices,

Since then no-one is available to answer us from the school on the exorbitant rates, even the online shop has no direct person to answer.

In between all this, when we went to the top book stores to get these books, then we came to know that these books are not available anywhere to buy as the book seller and the school have agreed to sell only online.

I felt its unjust on behalf of all parents, making us run every book store and at last forced to buy online at higher rates,

We neither have the school management to answer on this or anyone else,

Thought of bringing this to your kind notice so that we can get some relief as parents.

Regards,

Pained & upset parent
