On 8th August, a statewide strike was called by all private schools after unsuccessful discussions between the Private School Association and Chief Secretary of Education, Sanjay Prasad. As a result, all private schools across the state remained closed for the day. The decision was taken to protest the unresolved issues and demands of the private school community. Throughout the day, students and teachers stood in solidarity, voicing their concerns and urging for a positive resolution. The closure of private schools created an impact on the educational system, raising questions about the state’s approach towards private education and the need for better dialogue and understanding between stakeholders. The situation garnered attention on social media and in the local news, sparking debates on the role of private schools in the state’s education landscape. As the day concluded, it remained uncertain when the schools would reopen, and how the state government would respond to the demands of the private school community.
