‘School managements cannot prevent students from appearing for exams for non-payment of fee’
Demanding readmission fee and interest on pending school fee amount to violation of the provisions under the Right to Education(RTE) Act, according to the Kerala State Commission for Protection of Child Rights. The commission made this clear on complaints by parents that a section of the unaided school managements was resorting to this practice. They had asked the parents to remit the re-admission fee for students, who had incurred fee arrears in the new academic year.More Related News
