Parents Being Harassed Via SMS To Pay School Fees, Even For Lockdown Duration: Plea Alleges Before Allahabad High Court

Live Law  

Whereas the Uttar Pradesh Government is yet to respond to a query put by Allahabad High Court regarding regulation of school fees during suspension of physical classes, yet another PIL has been filed challenging exorbitant and arbitrary levy of fees by private schools in the State. The plea has been filed by members of the Parents Association in Moradabad, alleging that the parents and the children are constantly being harassed by private schools via SMS and Whatsapp messages, to pay arbitrary and exorbitant school fees for the session of 2020-2021, even for the duration the schools were closed and no services were provided, during the nationwide lockdowns. Furthermore, the Petitioners state, Section 4 of the Act, inserted by way of an Ordinance dated June 17, 2020, empowers the State Government to regulate the fees to be charged by recognised schools, from existing students and newly admitted students for each academic year, in public interest, in extraordinary conditions or emergent circumstances like acts of God, Epidemics, etc. "In order to unlawfully extract more and more money from the children and their parents, most of the Private Schools/Institutions have not separately specified the tuition fees and have lumped the fees of all heads into one head, B i.e., 'Composite Fees,' and thus, are collecting the arbitrary and illegal school-fees in mockery of the express directions of the State Government and in blatant violation of the mandate of the 2018 Act, which is not only illegal, arbitrary and unethical, but also inhumane on the part of the Private Schools/Institutions," the plea states.
