Fee hike & the formation of PTA's

The Directorate of Education had issued guidelines that Schools can enhance the fees, only with the consent of the parents. They were also directed to form the PTA's as per guidelines issued by the DOE. We appreciated a lot, the grand effort of Mr Arvinder singh Lovely, Minister of education who took keen interest in resolving the issue.

But we feel shocked that a group of 40 Principals have met CM in this regard and conveyed their apprehensions about seeking consent of parents in deciding the school fees.

Just a few months ago the same DOE had issued orders to increase the fees & all the schools  had happily accepted the directive & collected as said in the order with retrospective effect. A good number of parents were hurt by this order. Now again, these schools have raised the fees on flimsy grounds and now ,when the DOE is critical of the issue, the management of these schools has conveyed apprehensions to the CM.

We again request to the DOE as well MOE to give a serious thought to it & see that the orders & guidelines are accepted by all the schools.
