The parents moved to court on Wednesday, accusing the management of reducing the fees by a paltry 10 per cent, yet the schools are closed because of Covid-19. In court documents, the parents using the initials BPA, termed the school’s “paltry” discount as unlawful. They argue that they now have to feed their children at home and pay internet costs for the online classes, among others. “A conservatory order be issued staying the implementation of payment of full fees … and in lieu they be allowed to offset up to 30 per cent of school fees pro forma,” a petition filed by Mr Abdullahi reads.
