Bishop Paritosh Canning File pictureThe Church of North India (CNI) on Tuesday said the association of heads of Anglo Indian schools had no authority to decide fees or waivers and said the schools would withdraw their membership from the association in protest against its alleged interference. “The Association of Heads of Anglo Indian Schools in India, West Bengal Branch, is not authorised to deal with matters relating to the fee structure of their schools. Heads of at least two of these schools were present at Monday’s meeting that discussed the financial crisis because of non-payment of fees. “The heading of the article – ‘Anglo Indian Schools offer relief on fees’ -– seems a bit misleading,” association president Father Rodney Borneo wrote on Tuesday. This Association does not have the power to take such decisions that are the sole purview of the Boards of these schools.
