The Delhi Government has made it very clear that it will not allow private schools to hike fees citing implementation of the Seventh Pay Commission. City government has convened a meeting of all the MlAs and education department officials to discuss the issue that impacts parents of the school going children.
Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia met at the Delhi Secretariat on Wednesday following complaints from parents that schools have increased their fees and are asking for arrears."The chief minister and his deputy discussed the issue and a meeting of all the MlAs and education department officials has been called tomorrow," a senior government official said.
"The MlAs will get data regarding complaints against private schools in their area which have increased the fees," the official added.
The Directorate of Education (DoE) had also written to schools recently asking them to refrain from any "unjustified" hike in school fees in the name of implementation of the Seventh Pay Commission recommendations.
