GUIDELINES ON FEE HIKE BY PRIVATE SCHOOLS

M K Gupta

As per new rules issued by the Directorate of Education, Delhi Government, private schools will have now to take permission from the Parents Teachers Association to hike the fee. Formation of PTA in every school mandatory. Before increasing fee, schools should use reserve fund and it is not necessary to hike fee every year. In case of increase is without the permission of PTA, school should refund the same. Complaint for the violation of these rules/ guidelines can be made to the Dir. of Education, Delhi govt.

It is hoped that the new guidelines will deter the schools from adopting the same practices as were adopted by them to raise the fee last year and in most of the cases, without proper justification irrespective of the availability of huge reserve funds with them.
