Aam Aadmi Party is going all out against the private schools which are charging an exorbitant fee from the parents. Under it new initiative, 'rendering education as a service' the government has asked the schools to refund the fees to the parents. Any school, who will fail to do so will have to face the strict action from the government.
Schools have been told not only to refund the fees but to refund the fee with 9% interest rate to the parents. As of now, the government has sent notice to the 575 schools in the state.
A few days earlier, in a similar incident, the government asked two schools to roll back their fee hike. In another incident, the government derecognized one of the private schools in the city because it failed to provide free uniform and books to the children from the EWS category.
'For the first time in the country, schools are being disciplined. They are not being allowed to hike fees arbitrarily. Many schools are being made to return hiked fees. Because there is an honest government in Delhi,' the Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal had tweeted then.
This initiative of the government of Delhi is getting lots of attention on Social Media.
