KARACHI: The Sindh High Court (SHC) said on Thursday that schools could not fire students over non-payment of fees during the coronavirus lockdown. The Sindh government had made it mandatory for private schools to reduce their fees, but the court had suspended the government’s notification. At this, parents grew concerned that their children might be expelled from school, if they failed to pay the dues. The court then said that school management could not expel students who were unable to pay their dues to the lockdown. Sindh has been under a lockdown since the last week of March due to the coronavirus pandemic.
