The Delhi Government has issued warning to Presidium School in Dwarka over violation of certain norms, including non constitution up of parent-teacher association and increasing the fee without prior sanction.
The Delhi Government has also issued directions to St Marks Schools Meera Bagh, directing it not to increase fee for the current academic session 2016-17 without the prior sanction of the Education Department since the schools have been allotted land by DDA. The Government has also directed that increase of 15 percent additional in the tuition fee for the current academic session by the schools for AC plants is illegal and liable to be refunded.
An official statement issued by the Delhi Government said the Department of Education (DoE) has issued stern directions to Presidium School, Dwarka, Sector 16B, over violations of several norms set by the department. “The DoE has asked the school to follow the orders under Delhi School Education Act.

The DoE in its directions has asked the school to comply with the directions on determination of fees from the academic session 2009-10 to 2015-16 class-wise and to refund the excess fee already charged from the parents.
