MUSCAT: Indian Schools Board of Directors (BOD) has denied a report that said students were asked to go home as their family could not afford to pay the schools fees.
Speaking exclusively to The Arabian Stories, a senior BOD official has clarified that no students from any Indian schools in Oman were sent home because they were unable to pay the fees. “As far as we know, no such incidents have happened in any Indian schools. Even the BOD did not receive any complaints on this matter,” he said.
