Fee regulation Bill unjust: Himachal pvt schools

The Himachal Pradesh Private Schools (Regulation of Fee and other Related Matters) Bill, 2021 is unconstitutional and unjutst as it deprives the school managements of a chance to seek from courts, said Dev Raj Verma, president of the Private Schools Management Association, here today.

Verma said that the private schools charged a monthly fee of Rs 1,000 to Rs 2,500 per student while the government was spending over Rs 6,000 on every student but still the private schools performed better than the government schools. If the Bill was passed, a large number of teachers of the private schools would lose their jobs and students would lose the opportunity of better Education, he added.

He said that it was unfair to have only one representative of the private schools in the six-member committee. He added that the Bill proposed only a six per cent annual hike in the fee while the Inflation rate was higher than it.
