Financial difficulties will no more be an obstacle for the students of Indian schools in Oman as their parents now have the option of paying fees in installments.
"Any parent who is financially challenged and unable to pay the infrastructure fees as a lump sum amount, upon submission of a written request, will be granted the option to pay it in convenient installments, the Board of Directors Chairman, Wilson V George has said.
The step follows after the introduction of non-refundable fees by many schools in the country. Many Indian schools have also increased their fees.
"Although the Indian schools function as a single broad consortium, there are areas where each school, with its diverse management and having come into existence at various times, functions independently. The fee structure is one such aspect where schools have been granted the autonomy to determine their annual fees, as there are operational and infrastructural needs that are unique to each school. The fee structure is also being reviewed and revised periodically to reflect and meet the needs specific to that institution, "George was quoted saying by Times of Oman
 "The BOD ensures their continual support for deserving children who hail from financially weak backgrounds. This is effected through various initiatives such as the waiving of fees, scholarships, sponsor-a-child program, etc. The Board reiterated that no child would be denied admission or access to education by Indian Schools under their governance due to the inability of parents to pay the required fees."
