Teachers’ associations oppose fee hike for Class 10, 12 exams

Hindustan Times  

The Maharashtra State Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education has decided to impose a 15-20% hike in the examination fees for Class 10 and 12 students. Tanaji Kamble, Mumbai president of Maharashtra Progressive Teachers Association, has expressed strong opposition to this move in a letter sent to the chief minister, the school education minister and the education commissioner. He said, “The burden of numerous other expenses falls on schools and junior colleges, which include filling out forms online, downloading and printing of pre-lists and hall tickets, and providing all necessary documents as mandated by the board.” The letter also highlighted that these schools and junior colleges are also responsible for covering the essential stationery costs for Class 10 and 12 examinations. “This fee hike has led to concerns about the accessibility of education for economically disadvantaged students, potentially hindering their ability to participate in these examinations,” Kamble said and demanded that the books of accounts of MSBSHSE be made public.
