UPSA condemns UP govt’s order banning fee hike – Education News

The Unaided Private Schools Association (UPSA), in a press release, claimed that many private schools in Uttar Pradesh have expressed displeasure over the state government decision of banning fee hike or preventing them from increasing fees to give relief to the parents in the prevailing pandemic situation. UPSA president, Anil Agarwal, on behalf of the association said “The government should reconsider its decision and take it back immediately.”

“Fees of private schools have not been increased for the last three years during the Corona period. In the last two years, it was accepted by the school fraternity, as the employment of people was affected in lockdown.

But in the current year, the situation remained normal, and the Corona infection this year is under control,” said Agarwal, managing director of St Joseph’s group of education that has a chain of schools in the state capital. He said, “When discussions were done with concerned authorities on the issue, they stated that if you are not increasing fees, then do not increase the salary also.

This decision is creating a lot of displeasure among the teachers and employees since they are getting the same salary for the last three years now. No lockdown of any kind has been imposed; no business is affected.

It has also been said by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath that there is nothing to worry about but there is a need to be alert and take precautionary measures. But even after that, it was announced suddenly that there would be no increment of fees in private schools. The decision has put a big question mark on the livelihood of teachers and employees, working in private schools because if there is no increase in fees, there will be no increase in their salary.”
