An ordinance to check the fee hike in schools by UP Government

UP government will soon start promoting an ordinance which will keep an eye on the arbitrary hike in the fee by the private schools including the minority institutions.Any school in the state with classes 1-12 and charging more than INR 20,000 per annum will come under its ambit.Deputy Chief Minister Dr Dinesh Sharma told PTI, “Once the ordinance is notified, the new rules will come into effect from the present academic session (2018-19) prohibiting schools from raising fees arbitrarily. If any school wishes to hike fees, it will have to approach a regulatory committee headed by a divisional commissioner."Representatives of the parents and school management will also be the member of the panel. Sharma further told that the new legislation will cover all private schools except pre-schools.Deputy Chief Minister said "Schools will only be allowed to hike fees by seven to eight per cent after taking permission from the committee, based on the consumer price index and increase in salaries of staff. The draft of the ordinance was approved at a meeting of the state cabinet and seeks to tighten the noose around schools charging hefty fees. We are committed to stop harassment of parents and arbitrary increase in fees by private self-financed schools".“Not only books but uniforms, shoes, and socks are sold by schools or parents are forced to buy these from a certain shop. Our government is committed to check all these wrong practice,” he said.
