Fee cut order not applicable this year, say Karnataka private schools

As the government announces the commencement of the admission process for the 2021-22 academic year from June 15, the Karnataka private school managements, teaching and non-teaching staff coordination committee has clarified that the fee cut order will not be applicable for admissions during this academic year. The committee held a meeting on Sunday after which the convener of the committee D Shashi Kumar said, “junior officials are misguiding the media and parents with respect to the fees. We would like to clarify that the fees cut order issued last year is not applicable this year. The fees that we are charging this year is what we were charging before the 2019-20 academic year. Most schools have not hiked the fees for 2020-21 and 2021-22.”

The committee has demanded that the government clarify to parents about the fees and direct them to pay the same. It should also make attendance mandatory, even if it is online classes. “We urge the government to ask parents to the clear fees dues as not all of them are suffering financial losses,” he said.
