COVID-19: Allahabad High Court Seeks Response From UP Government, Education Boards On Regulation Of School Fees

Live Law  

The Allahabad High Court has sought response from the UP Government, CBSE, ICSE, UP Board and a battery of private schools on a PIL seeking regulation of school fees across all private educational institutions in the State, until resumption of physical classes. The instant 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.
