After the Ryan International School murder in Gurgaon, parents of St Joseph School in New Panvel are planning a massive protest on September 14 to raise several issues like fee hikes, lack of safety in the school and the lack of grievance redressal mechanism.

Parents alleged that the school has not solved several long pending issues despite several requests as a result of which they have now planned to have the protest.

"The school hikes fees every year. Despite this, the facilities provided to our children are in a poor state. The security is for the name sake and there is negligence everywhere. We do not want a repeat of what happened in Gurgaon and will continue fighting for the rights of our children," said Gaurav Kadam, parent of a student. Kadam said that over 2,000 parents are expected to join the protest.

Since the last two years, parents of the school have been at loggerheads with the school, with several complaints being filed at the state education department. Despite repeated calls, officials from the school could not be reached for a comment.
