DPI likely to recommend 25-30% cut in school fees

On receiving requests from parents and parents’ associations, the Department of Public Instruction (DPI) is likely to propose a fee cut in the range of 25 to 30 % for the current academic year.

The fee reduction is likely to be recommended to all private schools – State syllabus as well as central board schools, as the issue of fee structure falls under the responsibility of the State government.

While parents alleged that private school managements were collecting fees even for recurring expenditure they were not incurring this academic year due to the pandemic as the schools were shut, school managements were worried that majority of the parents had not paid the school fees, hence they were unable to pay salaries to their staff.
