Taking a stern note of the complaint that the school is charging admission fee and term charge from the students of poor parents admitted under Right to Education (RTE) in open defiance of regulations, the Uttarakhand State Commission for Protection of Child Rights (SCPCR) has directed the management of the Scholars Home school to refund the fees charged from such students.
The chairperson of SCPCR, Usha Negi also directed the district education officer ( DEO) of Dehradun to cancel the No Objection Certificate ( NOC) granted to the school, if such a complaint is received again.
A hearing was held at office of commission on Thursday on the complaint of one of a parent Mahendra Bhatt in which the Scholars Home School was represented by its admission in-charge and counsel Kamaljeet Singh. On production of proof of fee receipts charged by the school from students admitted under RTE, the counsel of the school assured that fees would be refunded by the school.
