Overview
- Hundreds of parents protested at Hyderabad Public School, Ramanthapur, and said they will withhold first‑term fees until the management gives a written promise of no increase.
- Parent groups from the Begumpet branch joined in solidarity and backed the fee strike across both campuses.
- Parents said annual fees rose from about Rs 83,630 in 2021 to more than Rs 2,01,628 in 2025, argued the jump exceeds operating needs, and called for a five‑year freeze.
- Protesters demanded audited accounts and an elected Parent‑Teacher Association, and they sought the principal’s removal, citing a 14‑year tenure and service on extension past retirement age.
- Parents alleged declining quality in food and sports facilities despite higher fees and warned they would escalate the fight, with some saying they will take the case to fee regulators and the state education ministry if there is no response.
