No increase in school fee of private schools affiliated to CBSE or any board allowed in MP: board of secondary education
No school including all the private schools affiliated to
Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) cannot increase the school for the
academic session 2020-21 as per orders released from school education
department on Friday.
The board will issue orders if there are any changes in
future, but until then, no increase in fee is allowed.
Further, the orders shared from Joint Director (Indore) of
school education department Manish Verma noted that those parents who have not
been able to pay school fee of academic session 2019-20 can pay the amount till
June 30, 2020.
“Schools need to consider requests from parents if they are
unable to pay fee due to coronavirus pandemic and current lockdown,” the notice
said. In case, parents have not been able to pay school fee due to pandemic, no
school is allowed to remove the child from the school, as per orders.
“Many schools force parents to pay fee in lump-sum amounts,
but keeping in mind the disturbance in income for everyone due to lockdown, it
has been decided that schools must collect fee in quarterly and preferably
monthly instalment,” the order said.
Further, schools have
been instructed that students should be forced to buy reference books and
should only use books provided by board.
