On Monday,
the UP government directed all schools not to increase the fee for the next
academic session. Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Dinesh Sharma said “if
any school has charged hiked fee for the new session, the additional amount
will be adjusted in the coming months.”
"Following
the unprecedented situation, which has emerged following the outbreak of
COVID-19, all schools in the state have been directed not to hike fees. Due to
the lockdown, there have been adverse impact on the employment of parents, and
hence are facing difficulties in depositing the fee," Mr. Sharma said.
"All
the schools of all the boards in the state be it UP Madhayamik Shiksha Parishad
(UP Secondary Education Board), CBSE, ICSE, International Baccalaureate and
International General Certificate of Secondary Education should not hike the
fee for the academic session 2020-21, and the fee of 2019-20 should be charged.
If any school has charged hiked fee from the parents, then the same additional
amount will be adjusted in coming months," he said.
Instructions
have also been issued to make provision for the parents to deposit school fee
on monthly basis.
