DPS Delhi students stopped from taking exam over unpaid fee
Several students of Delhi Public School (DPS) Mathura Road in New Delhi were stopped from taking their exam on Wednesday, allegedly due to the non-payment of fees.
The parents alleged they had not paid the fees as the matter was in court, and the order was reserved since January 27. The Directorate of Education (DoE) had on August 28 last year passed an order saying no fee except tuition fee would be charged during the lockdown and that fee would not be hiked until further directions. DPS allegedly hiked its tuition fee from around Rs 9,000 to around Rs 12,000 per month and was also asking for additional fee.
On Wednesday, as students were to appear for online exams, several parents realised the link had not been sent to them. “We also know that we have to pay the fee, and we have paid for all months except the last three. But they should have informed us that they will not allow our children to sit for exams…,” said a parent whose daughter studies in class 8.
