The uncontrolled fee-charging by private schools is a major problem of every state, parents are distressed but don’t speak thinking about their child’s future.
In Rajasthan
There was a law passed in October 2013 to decide the fees of private schools, a committee was formed under retired justice Shiv Kumar Sharma, around 35000 schools were under the scanner.The fees of 10000 schools were also decided but the matter reached the court.The new government brought new rule in 2016, got it passed in ‘Vidhansabha’ according to which instead of deciding the fee forming the committee in each school was proposed with teachers, parents, and school management as members of the committee.No committee is formed in the schools and the illegitimate fee-charging is continue.
