Parents Protest Fee Hike and Property Issues at Wisdom Tree School

Fifty parents showed up outside Wisdom Tree School in Greater Noida on Saturday. It was a protest. They were furious about the fee hike. They claimed it was an arbitrary jump, up to sixty percent, tacked on without any real justification.

The school, naturally, pushed back. They said they weren't doing anything wrong. They pointed to the Uttar Pradesh State Government’s Fees Regulatory Act. They claimed the increase stayed within the 7.23 per cent limit set for schools that self-finance.

But the parents' side had a different story. Their committee alleged something else entirely. They said the school started with lower fees just to get more kids in the door. Then, once the students were enrolled, the fees got revised.

Anubha Bhaskar, one of the parents’ committee heads, told the news agency they talked to about two hundred and seventy parents. The fee jump, they said, was between twenty and sixty per cent. It felt like a deliberate setup.

Virendra Kumar, the committee head, made a sharper claim. He suggested the management presented a fake fee structure. They tried to make it look like the hike was legal, compliant with that small percentage cap. He insisted the actual fee receipts just didn't match what the school showed them.

Things moved into the administrative space quickly after the demonstration. Representatives from the District School Inspector’s office stepped in. They assured the parents an inquiry would happen. A committee would look into all these claims.

The school responded, of course. They said they had already sent all the details about the fee hike to the DIOS office. They claimed they sent those details again today.

Rajesh Singh, the DIOS for Gautam Buddha Nagar, confirmed something. An inquiry committee would be formed. It would check everything. And they said it would visit the school soon. That’s the official word.

But the parents weren't done. There was another layer of frustration hanging over the situation. They brought up something much bigger.

They alleged the school hadn't delivered on a promise. They claimed the school had promised an affidavit. A guarantee. For the safety and security of the roughly seventeen hundred children there. A promise to take responsibility for their future.

And then there was the property issue. The Income Tax Department had issued a notice. It flagged the entire campus building. The valuation was listed at one hundred twenty-five crore rupees. They called it ‘benami’ property.

Parents felt this was all connected. They argued that when they discussed the safety and the financial structure with the management and the principal, the promise of that affidavit just vanished. It never materialized. It’s all just piling up. A lot of things that need looking at.
