Private schools fixing fee without justification, says petitioner
Telangana High Court had issued notices to the State government in a PIL petition seeking creation of a mechanism to regulate fee structure in private schools in the State.
A bench of Chief Justice Satish Chandra Sharma and Justice A. Rajashekar Reddy instructed the Principal Secretary of Education and the Director of School Education to explain the government stand on the matter. The plea was filed by Hyderabad School Parents Association represented by its joint secretary K. Venkat Sainath.
The petitioner contended that there was no system in the State to regulate fixation and collection of fees for students by the private schools. Due to this, owners of private schools were fixing tuition and other fees at their will and without any justification, he contended.
