Meeting with Consul General Mr. Fais Ahmad Kidwai

IISJ Parents’ VOICE TEAM met Consul General Mr. Fais Ahmad Kidwai at his office today, 11th May 2011 and submitted the copy of memorandum which was presented earlier to International Indian School Principal Mr. Syed Masood Ahmed on 25th of April 2011. Also, we expressed our serious concerns about the exorbitant FEE increase (40%) in International Indian School Jeddah which is unjust while the school already have a good budget. This Fee hike is effecting badly majority of average salaried INDIAN parents. We are not against a nominal increase in the fee to have a better education and infrastructure but being a community school IISJ went beyond the limits unilaterally without considering parents. It is disgraceful thing that, we are coming from a democratic country and we don’t have an elected Managing Committee for this community school. Also, there is no PTA for parents to interact with teachers / School. The CG cordially entertained us to hear all our concerns and he responded us that he will look in to our concerns positively and will do whatever he can since the school is not under direct administration of consulate now.
Mr. Siraj Kollam, Mr. Abdul Basheer CH, Engr. Mohamed Baiju and Mr. Ashraf Unneen were in the parents’ delegation to meet the CG.
